Online Emergency Stop?

Hi,
my Prusa I3 MK3 ist running somethime over night in my Office. To see what he is doing i've installed a net cam and now i'm thinking about what i can do in case of emergency. The Printer is connected to my Pc and it would be great when i can stop the Printer over my pc (TeamViewer). At first i wanted to use Pronterface for it but by my first test i've got a heatbed error by using it (may be used incorrectly?). Is there an other way to stop the Printer by my pc?

thx forward

You can use Octoprint to monitor you computer and it has an e-stop plug in.
Octoprint and Homeassistant can be used together to turn off a smart switch/outlet to cut the power to computer if needed.

100% Octoprint is a life saver. and at around 5-10 bucks for a tiny pi. you really cant go wrong.

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

I didn’t use a pc option. I instead went with a cheap power strip connected to my network that allows me to shut off each of the outlets individually through an app on my phone. Has saved me from having a major mess a couple times.
