Request: Add support for shutters

[Owlbertz]

Hi,

from what I got from the docs I am currently not able to control shutters using commands like "open"/"close" or "up"/"down".
I feel like it should be quite easy to add this - but unfortunately I am unfamilar with Python and therefore cannot do this myself.
Is there any chance that this gets added in?

My suggestion would be to create a proxy item (such as a Switch or Dimmer) and add a rule to set the state of the shutter from the proxy. A Switch could be map ON / OFF into OPEN / CLOSE, or a Dimmer could map % brightness into % open.

Dimmer	ProxyItem1	"Proxy 1 [%d %%]"	<light>	["Lighting"]
Switch	ProxyItem2	"Proxy 2 [%s]"	                        ["Switchable"]

Hi @FloatingBoater,

I already came up with the additional logic myself in PR #101.
While of course your suggestion would work, I think the more natural language commands for opening and closing are better than having to control the shutters via ON/OFF.
