Yes, please! I want to build a keypad that issues API commands and I want to have a button that toggles power. However, I neither found a way via the API to get the current PSU status nor is this toggle option available.

[kantlivelong]

@yschroeder Yeah status makes sense too.

[kantlivelong]

@yschroeder I've added both API commands to the additional_api_commands branch if you want to test it out and let me know how it goes.

Added:

• togglePSU - Toggles supply on/off. No return data
• getPSUState - Returns isPSUOn value(0/1) as a JSON.

Actually, I have no idea how to use a plugin that is not installed via the integrated GUI. Can you give me a hint on where to find this info?

[kantlivelong]

1. Uninstall the existing plugin.
2. Use the following URL in the plugin manager. (See example below)

URL:

https://github.com/kantlivelong/OctoPrint-PSUControl/archive/additional_api_commands.zip

I will try it today. Yesterday mounted a ATX PSU to it, and turning it on and off goes just fine using the lightning icon. Will try it using the API.

I'm testing it remotely, don't know I am doing it wrong.
Is this the right way to call it?

/api/turnPSUOff

See #21

I've tested it now. togglePSU works as expected, thanks for that!

However I can't get the getPSUState to work. Is it a POST or a GET? Shouldn't it be a GET on /api/plugin/psucontrol/PSUState and then return a json object? I tested some variations but can't get the right response back. Please give a hint on how to use this.

[kantlivelong]

It should be a POST that returns json data but I haven't tested it as I don't have a working environment at the moment.

[kantlivelong]

curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" -X POST -d '{ "command":"getPSUState" }' http://YOUR_OCTOPRINT_SERVER/api/plugin/psucontrol

[yschroeder]

That curl command returns a 500 error.

@yschroeder

Remove plugin and add again via the same url. Yesterday they fixed it in a new commit based on my log. (See the other issue)

[yschroeder]

Getting the status works as described for me after installing again.

I would like to see both features getting deployed to release. For now I will keep using the plugin from the zip file.
