OctoPrint-PSUControl VS OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater

Replying to my other comment about the logs: Try enabling logging as detailed on the PSU-Control github. (I enabled both 'psucontrol' and 'psucontrol-tplink' to "debug" level).

Thanks for pointing me towards plugins. Didn't realize those would have the power to cause that kind of issue. Looks like it's probably my Home Assistant PSU Control plugin. Lots of error spam from it in my logs, and I found this issue: https://github.com/kantlivelong/OctoPrint-PSUControl/issues/262

Same. I use a TP-Link KP303 strip with the PSU Control plugin on OctoPrint. It cuts power 10m after the hotend and bed cool to 50c.

A few days before going the Home Assistant route I had installed the PSU Control plugin to be able to turn it off/on. It worked, but I thought it would be easier if I managed it with Home Assistant as it gave me many more options for including several conditional checks. Not to mention if I wanted to adjust the logic it was much quicker/easier to edit Home Assistant automations than to have to edit the plugin settings each time and hope I didn't screw it up.

Also, if you're willing to play with some wire cutters you can use a plugin for OctoPrint to turn on/off your 3D printer directly from the OctoPrint web interface. (Although if you go with the docker container you'll need to pass through GPIO control for this to work by mounting /dev/gpiochip0).

EDIT: this plugin https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/tplinksmartplug/ based on the more generic power control plugin https://github.com/kantlivelong/OctoPrint-PSUControl

Really need more info about your configuration. With the exception of catching M80/M81(configurable) PSU Control doesn't modify outgoing GCode. Logs also help. https://github.com/kantlivelong/OctoPrint-PSUControl/wiki/Troubleshooting#how-to-provide-logs

After reading some more seems like you CAN do it, but I was either too scared or didn't know about it in Mid-2021

Firmware Updater Useful for flashing firmware to printer without having to use sd card. Frees up an sd card for me

I have 2 skr 1.4 turbo boards and before I switched to klipper I always updated my firmware using the firmware updater plug in for octoprint. On the github page it guided you through setup for that board family. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I followed the install instructions from this link. I installed the python 3 compatible version of heat shrink.

Method 3 (Through Octopi) - I installed Anaconda to download the firmware updater for Octopi found here (https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/) but cannot install it through the command line. I get "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.". Tried upgrading pip to no avail.

if you have an Raspberry pi you can try https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

I'm not sure if this OctoPrint plug-in works with the neptune 2 but it's worth a shot. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/firmwareupdater/

You need a plugin called Firmware Updater.

Only if you already have Binary File Trainsfer setting enabled in Marlin. So you might be stuck since that's not normally enabled. But when it is enabled, it does work. I only update via octoprint anymore. https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater/blob/master/doc/marlinbft.md
