Control the printer via Prusa Link and Home Assistant
I would like to have some basic control over the printer via PrusaLink and Home Assistant. There are buttons to cancel and pause a print job, but what about other things when the printer is idle?
First, I would really like to have a button to cool down the printer before turning it off (I have it connected in a smart plug). Home Assistant can take care of the "turn off" part, but how to tell the printer to cool down?
Also, it would be nice to have some control over the lights in the printer (Core One), e.g., set the intensity when printing or idle (maybe even set the color/efect of the RGB strip) -- I would like to adjust the light in the printer to match the current scene in the room around the printer (controlled via Home Assistant). I know it may sound a bit silly, but it would really help the beautiful printer to blend into home decor 🙂
Even more advanced thing would be to send custom gcode (e.g., to control GPIO board), set min/max fan speed, enable/disable silent mode, etc. Ideally, everything in the printer settings should be available via Prusa Link (and Home Assistant integration).
What do you think?
