How to shut down the printer on print finish

FestivejellyFestivejelly
in Repetier-Server
So I have one of these fancy smart plugs. I intercepted its traffic and now I know what rest commands i need to send to shut it down and turn it on.

What I wanted to do is create a small python script that would poll the message directory and scan for "print finished" messages so it knows when it should shut down, after a timer.

I guess all I really need to know is where can I find these messages on repetier server on the raspberry pi?

    Not so complicated!

    See manual how to add extcommands.xml file for external commands allowed. With that you can have a server command
    @execute shutdown
    whcih calls your script. Then go printer settings->g-codes->event dependent and add that gcode in the run after job event as last command.

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to do the same thing but am a little new to this.  Would it be possible please to elaborate some more about what needs to be done to implement this functionality?  

    Many thanks in advance.

    Cheers

    Please read the "Advanced Setup" part in server manual (best after upgrading to 0.85.1 where it was fixed a bit). If you then have special questions let us know.
