Hey.

I was wondering if the hardware/software supports powering off via USB?

the usecase would be Astroprint/octpi powering on or off the printer from remote.

Hello.


According to my knowledge there is no such functionality at the moment.

Turn on the high-voltage power supply. Requires a board that’s powered from USB or another 5V source.

If you're using Octoprint, there's a plugin that uses the GPIO on the RaspberryPi to turn power on and off. TheIt's a more elegant solution but does require some minor electrical wiring which can be dangerous. Here's a good example: https://www.instructables.com/id/PSU-Co ... Octoprint/

i did it with a sonoff plug and a octoprint plugin so from octoprint i can turn on/off printer and extra led lights
