Printer auto power down via WeMo?
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2017 3:24 am
Is it possible to auto power off the printer power supply via WeMo? Maybe adding an end script in Simplfy3d that calls to another app which controls power?
You seem very interested in this power off thing. I can understand that you may be concerned about it for some reason, but it is not an issue to leave it running and turn it off later. I have left my M2 powered up for weeks at a time and lost no sleep over it.
The ending scripts mentioned in your other thread and the firmware/software shut down major power-drawing components at the end of the print, so just some fans humming. I had the same thoughts about remote power control when I first got started, but once the fans were switched out with Noctua fans, I stopped worrying about it.
BUT, since you asked. How about this? https://www.adafruit.com/product/268 Powerswitch tail 2
I have wondered if there is a pin on the RAMBO that you could hook this up in combination with some scripting for power down possibilities, but never looked deep enough.
