Feature Request: Implement PSU or WiFi switch control into OctoPod #448

Open Schnabulation opened 3 years ago

Schnabulation commented 3 years ago

It would be awesome if plugins like PSU Control or OctoPrint-MyStromSwitch could be controlled from OctoPod. This would help to switch on the printer directly from OctoPod.

It seems like the OctoPrint Cura plugin automatically detects these power-switching plugins and supports them natively - so maybe there is library or something that could be implemented. Would help so not every plugin needs to be integrated manually.

Hi @Schnabulation,

PSU Control plugin is already supported. Is that not working for you? Here is a list of all plugins are currently supported. To access this plugin you have to be in the first tab (Panel) and swipe to the left or right to change subpanels. You will see the temp chart and depending on your installed plugins you will see more or less things. A panel for the PSU Control plugin will appear there.

I will check out the Wifi switch plugin. I never heard that one before.'

BTW, I will move this ticket to OctoPod app project. This is the plugin repo.

Thanks, Gaston

Hi Gaston

Thank you for your fast reply - I really appreciate it. The OctoPrint-MyStromSwitch plugin is a WiFi plug controller plugin for WiFi plug from the manufacturer MyStrom, which is quite common in Switzerland. The plugin is fairly simply and can just toggle the WiFi plug - nothing more: https://i.imgur.com/teRSnte.jpg

Right now I have to open the MyStrom app to toggle the plug before I can use OctoPod. It would be awesome if MyStrom is implemented into OctoPod like PSU control is.

If I can help you with anything just let me know.
