Switching off LED

[seppelicous]

How do I switch off the LEDs, eg end of print? Do I have to set brightness to 0 or what else?

Currently, setting the print finished event to 0 brightness or solid colour black would achieve that. The way I managed this with WS281x LED Status was using @ commands so you could add them to gcode scripts etc. to control the lights on/off, this may come to this plugin at some point.

@seppelicous did the above answer make sense for you?

Hi! I'm in the same boat, I would like to have the plugin make the LEDs flash for a couple seconds to alert me when a print is done, but not keep blinking perpetually. The ability to use g-code commands would be perfect for doing that (or just a checkbox option that turns off the LEDs a few seconds after the effect is triggered). Thanks!

In version 0.2.0 there will be two @ commands available:

Host @ commands can be used in GCODE scripts, custom controls or sent directly from the OctoPrint terminal to control OctoPrint. The WLED plugin reacts to commands that start with @WLED:

• @WLED ON turns all the LEDs on
• @WLED OFF turns all the LEDs off

These are not case sensitive.

I want to try this out for OctoDash!

@NovaViper I've tagged a development release as 0.2.0dev1

Install using the URL:

https://github.com/cp2004/OctoPrint-WLED/releases/download/0.2.0dev1/release.zip

Please don't report bugs with it, I'll publish a release candidate when it is ready. This is purely for experimentation, I still have known issues/not implemented things.

There's a release candidate available for 0.2.0rc1 if you want to give it a go. Feedback ticket #54.
