I have Octoprint hooked up to my Home Assistant through MQTT. This enables me to automatically start a powerswitch with my aquariumpump for air assist when i start a print and 10s after finishing turn it off again. Also, this starts my bigger exhaust for smoke extraction outdoors. With Home Assistant and MQTT you can literally connect everything to everything, too much to go into here. For more about that, visit /r/homeassistant or https://www.home-assistant.io/
Install Octoprint, preferably on a Raspberry Pi, making it Octopi. https://octoprint.org/
