OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere VS octo4a

You should try OctoEverywhere for remote access, AI failure detection, and more! I might be biased, since I’m the developer behind the project. But I would love to know what you think if you try it!

Yes it is! check it out it's actually very easy to set up. It only takes a few minutes. I just set it up a few days ago. I use it with the mobileraker app. The basic version is free.

I browsed the https://github.com/QuinnDamerell/OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere/tree/master/moonraker_installer and didn't see any script to remove octoeverywhere.

Installing plugin "OctoEverywhere - Free Remote Access, AI Failure Detection, And More!" from https://github.com/QuinnDamerell/OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere/archive/master.zip...

To fix your problem: There are however various solutions to access/connect to your octoprint instance when you are not at home. I myself for example am using a VPN that's hosted on my router which I can login to. Then, my cellphone data internet connection works like as if I were at home in my local network (WiFi), hence giving me access to my octoprint instance. Another possibility would be to use services like OctoEverywhere. There you would have to create an account and install the plugin in octoprint. Basically it works like this: your printer connects to the servers from OctoEverywhere via a secure connection. OctoEverywhere will then provide you with an URL where you can connect to your printer (via their servers).

I mean I guess the simplest way would be to use something like OctoEverywhere to send a notification when the print is paused.

Nice work bud, this is the repo? https://github.com/QuinnDamerell/OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere also you support all the proprietary chats, do you support any good protocols, like matrix?

OctoEverywhere : Failure detection worked OK but missed a lot. It was expensive for home use. Obico self hosted : fails to connect to server often, also missed a lot.

If you have a spare old(ish) Android phone you can look into Octo4A. Just be sure to connect the phone via power blocked USB cable to avoid your phone charing the printer... And you need a phone you can charge and use USB host at the same time. Some allow this via split cables (Type-c dongles) or if your phone has wireless charging.

As the video mentions https://github.com/feelfreelinux/octo4a :D I did need to get an adapter splitter and I only got it to work on a phone with USBC port, so nothing super old.

If you have a Android phone (or tablet), you can use the octo4a app.

At the bottom of the first post, this is what they recommend for Octo4A

I am honest, it is a bit more complicated and failure prone, but absolutly doable. octo4a

I run Octoprint on my laptop. Old Android phone is also an option.

I really need help with this one. I use an android tablet with Octo4a (https://github.com/feelfreelinux/octo4a) and some plugins work fine but f.e. octolapse not and I get this report.

For whoever needs to know what I mean by Octo4A please visit the developers GitHub: https://github.com/feelfreelinux/octo4a
