You installed a Buddy3D controller via a Raspberry Pi. Does this mean it can be used offline via a PrusaLink network?

I installed the Buddy3d. Dropped using a raspberry. The buddy3d gets its power from a buck converter. So it had constant current and i did not want that. So I put a Delock WLAN Usb in between, it runs on Tasmota. Works great als in combination with Homey. When my printer runs thru the night, Homey switches off the LED lights in the enclosure and now also the Buddy3D.
just to inform you all

I was going to say be careful with that, as when the Buddy3D camera is automatically updating its firmware, a power interupption can brick it - but looks like that issues has now been fixed with a later firmware so hopefully you're all good!
