An H2D armed five 12-hour drying cycles inside four hours, one of them six
seconds after the previous one ended, and none ran more than a couple of
hours.
Two things combine. The firmware ends a cycle when it decides the filament
is dry rather than when the clock runs out, and reports no fault doing it --
across this printer's history the run length tracks how wet the spools were,
from nearly the full 12 hours starting at 32% down to minutes once the unit
sat at 10-13%. That part is the AMS doing its job.
The loop is ours. An AMS reports higher relative humidity while it is warm
than once it has cooled: the same unit read 10-13% cold and 15-20% through
every cycle. With the threshold at 14% the reading at the moment a cycle
ended was always still above it, so the next 30-second pass armed another
12-hour cycle. Nothing counted, nothing waited, and it only stopped when the
box finally cooled enough to read 13%.
Auto-drying now waits 30 minutes after a cycle ends before arming another on
the same unit, and gives up on a unit after two consecutive cycles that
bring the reading no lower -- logging why and sending a new notification,
on by default because it reports that Bambuddy has stopped acting. Progress
is judged against the lowest reading any cycle on that unit has ended at,
not against the threshold, so a genuinely wet spool in a humid room coming
down 40-37-35 keeps drying however far it still is from the target;
comparing against the best so far rather than the previous end stops a
sensor wobbling by one point reading as progress every other cycle. The
suspension lifts by itself once the reading falls below the threshold.
Neither guard can stop a running cycle, and a cycle Bambuddy cut short for a
print, or that the user stopped by hand, is not counted against the unit --
so a farm that dries between queue jobs is unaffected. The threshold field
now warns below 20%, and every cycle end logs the unit's temperature and
humidity, which is what made this diagnosable.
The same bundle showed unrelated tasks failing with "database is locked",
each inside a 30.000-second Discord connect timeout. Alarms are raised from
inside the loop that records sensor history, at a point where the new rows
are added but not committed; the first read in the notification path flushed
them to satisfy itself, opening a write transaction, and the provider was
then contacted over the network with that transaction still open. SQLite
allows one writer and 30 seconds outlives the 15-second busy timeout, so
every other write in that window failed. The two reads that run before a
provider is contacted no longer flush the caller's pending work, and the
connect timeout is 5 seconds rather than 30 -- the body keeps the full 30,
so image uploads on a slow uplink are unaffected. SQLite only; Postgres has
no single-writer limit.
Binds binary_sensor and reading-carrying sensor entities to a printer and
renders their state on its card, worded by Home Assistant's device_class.
Optional per-sensor alert condition drives a notification on the transition
into the alert state and an opt-in interlock that holds queued prints while
alerting -- a hold with a readable waiting_reason, never a failure, and only
ever on a sensor that was read successfully.
Sensors get their own table rather than a wider entity pattern on SmartPlug:
get_smart_plug_by_printer would otherwise hand the card's power button a door
contact to switch.
The hold is passed to the model matcher directly rather than merged into
busy_printers: _check_auto_drying reads that set as "is currently printing"
and would put an idle-but-held printer down the mid-print drying path.
The notification_providers migration spells its default FALSE, not 0 --
Postgres rejects an integer default for a boolean and _safe_execute swallows
the error.
When a print reaches a terminal state Bambuddy holds the queue until
someone confirms the build plate is clear. That gate was visible only in
the Web UI: the printer's own MQTT push reports nothing beyond RUNNING,
PAUSE, FAILED, FINISH and IDLE, so an external automation could not tell
"finished" from "finished and still waiting for a human".
The per-printer status topic now carries an awaiting_plate_clear field,
and every transition is additionally published on a new retained topic,
bambuddy/printers/{serial}/plate_clear. Retained, and published from the
flag itself rather than from printer telemetry: a subscriber learns the
state of every printer the moment it connects, and the state stays
correct after Auto Off powers a printer down - telemetry stops there,
which would otherwise leave the status topic frozen at false.
Publishing is edge-triggered. The queue clears the gate on every
dispatch whether or not it was up, and no subscriber should see a
"plate cleared" for a plate that was never dirty. Persistence and the
WebSocket broadcast stay unconditional; they are idempotent and predate
this.
A matching Plate Clear Required notification event was added, off by
default on every provider because it fires after every print at the
same moment as the print-complete alert. Only the rising edge notifies.
Acknowledging still goes through POST /printers/{id}/clear-plate.
Two tests in test_printer_manager_status_broadcast.py asserted
_schedule_async.call_count == 2 for the setter. The new emission makes
it three on a transition, so they now assert that the persist and
broadcast coroutines are actually scheduled - which is the contract
Translated in all locales; wiki updated. Covered by backend and
frontend tests.
Split Obico failure-detection dispatch out of the multiplexed
on_printer_error event onto its own on_ai_failure_detection event so
users can subscribe to AI alerts without also enabling HMS hardware-
error pages, and so the discoverable label "AI Failure Detection" is
what subscribes them rather than the unrelated "Printer Error" toggle.
New column on notification_providers (default False, branched
SQLite/Postgres migration), new notification_service.on_ai_failure_detection
method, new ai_failure_detection template, obico_actions._notify swap.
Frontend gets a summary badge, a toggle row with description, and ntfy
priority surfacing. 14 new tests pin the routing + the regression guard
("Printer Error" alone must NOT receive AI notifications now). 11 locales
covered.
Existing providers keep working: HMS hardware errors continue to ride
on_printer_error unchanged; users who want spaghetti alerts opt in via
the new toggle.
When all matching printers were busy and a job was queued with ASAP
timing, the scheduler immediately fired a "Job Waiting for Filament"
notification even though the job was just waiting for a printer to
finish — no user action required.
Added _is_busy_only() check to skip the waiting notification when the
only reason is "Busy". Notifications still fire for actionable reasons
(missing filament, offline, wrong color). Also renamed the default
notification template title to "Queue Job Waiting" and updated
descriptions across all 7 locales.
Notify users when the first layer finishes printing so they can check
adhesion remotely. Triggers once per print when layer 2 begins
(layer_num >= 2, capped at <= 5 to handle reconnects). Includes a
camera snapshot attachment. Adds the on_first_layer_complete toggle
to all notification providers, with backend/frontend/i18n support
across all 7 locales.
Notify users when the print bed cools below a configurable threshold
(default 35°C) after a print finishes, so they know when to remove parts.
- Backend: DB migration, model, schemas, notification template, service
method, background cooldown monitor (polls every 15s, 30min timeout)
- Frontend: event toggle in provider card/modal, threshold setting in
Settings > Notifications, i18n keys for all 5 locales
- Tests: 4 backend + 4 frontend tests
- Docs: README, website, wiki updated
