OctoLight

A simple plugin that adds a button to the navigation bar for toggleing a GPIO pin on the Raspberry Pi or send a HTML GET request to shelly wi-fi switch

Setup

Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/gigibu5/OctoLight/archive/master.zip

Configuration

Curently, you can configure two settings:

• Light PIN: The pin on the Raspberry Pi that the button controls.

  • Default value: 13
  • The pin number is saved in the board layout naming scheme (gray labels on the pinout image below).
  • !! IMPORTANT !! The Raspberry Pi can only control the GPIO pins (orange labels on the pinout image below)

• Inverted output: If true, the output will be inverted

  • Usage: if you have a light, that is turned off when voltage is applied to the pin (wired in negative logic), you should turn on this option, so the light isn't on when you reboot your Raspberry Pi.

• Use Shelly Wi-fi switch to turn on/off lights instead of GPIO

• Shelly IP address: type in local ip address like 192.168.178.71

API

Base API URL : GET http://YOUR_OCTOPRINT_SERVER/api/plugin/octolight?action=ACTION_NAME

This API always returns updated light state in JSON: {state: true}

(if the action parameter not given, the action toggle will be used by default)

Actions

• toggle (default action): Toggle light switch on/off.
• turnOn: Turn on light.
• turnOff: Turn off light.
• getState: Get current light switch state.

TO DO

• Update interface if Light is turned on or off

Maybe in the distant future:

• Turn off on finish print
