In the virtual environment do:
pip install pip --upgrade pip install octoprint
Add user to tty and dialout group to allow access to serial port:
sudo usermod -a -G tty $USER sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER #reboot required for the new group to take effect. For temporary access: sudo chown $USER /dev/ttyUSB0 sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB0
Allow octoprint to restart itself, replace USER with username:
- /etc/sudoers.d/octoprint
USER ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl start octoprint,/usr/bin/systemctl stop octoprint,/usr/bin/systemctl restart octoprint USER ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service octoprint restart,/usr/sbin/service octoprint stop,/usr/sbin/service octoprint stop
Start service:
~/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint serve
Access it via http://localhost:5000
Autostart service:
wget https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint/raw/master/scripts/octoprint.service sudo mv octoprint.service /etc/systemd/system/octoprint.service sudo sed -i 's/pi/'"$USER"'/g' /etc/systemd/system/octoprint.service sudo systemctl enable octoprint.service
Update:
cd ~/OctoPrint python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install pip --upgrade pip install setuptools --upgrade pip install octoprint --upgrade

PSUControl + Tuya Plug/LED On/Off
The following python scripts can be used to switch on/off a Tuya compatible smart plug in the local network and to trigger two flashes in red of a smart LED, then restoring the LED to the previous colour and state.
Using the PSUControl plugin, these scripts can be triggered automatically:
https://github.com/kantlivelong/OctoPrint-PSUControl
To locally control the Tuya devices, the tinytuya python module needs to be installed:
pip install tinytuya
The module provides local system scanning options and methods to obtain the local key required to control the devices. The devices may need to be connected to a Tuya cloud account first and an API account set up. However, this might only be required if the devices need to be controlled from tinytuya using the cloud option from outside the local network.
More information provided here: https://pypi.org/project/tinytuya/
Configure the slicer (Cura or others) to add gcode at the end of the sliced file to trigger shutting down the printer.
