Is there a way to trigger the Capture and Solve alignment operation using PyIndi or does my python script have to rely on DBUS interactions? If so, please elucidate elaborately!

Pardon my confusion, but it seems like PyIndi is great for device manipulation, but only deals with the INDI part of KStars/EKOS/INDI... namely there is no way with PyIndi to interact with the KStars Planetarium GUI or the EKOS GUI tabs such as Alignment, Auto-Focus, or Scheduler. Is that right?

As an add-on question: how does one get a BLOB back from the CCD without using PyIndi? I know how to do it with PyIndi, but using DBUS-based iINDI interface methods getBLOBFile or getBLOBData after a CCD capture return empty elements.
