An end-of-print auto-off on a plug that powers a filter fan marked the linked
printer offline and forced its state to "unknown". The mark was unrecoverable:
connected heals on the next MQTT message but state does not (only frames
carrying gcode_state rewrite it, and steady-state push_status frames are
partial), so the printer stayed "unknown" until a manual Force Refresh and the
queue never dispatched to it again.
The offline mark is now an explicit presumption: mark_power_off records the
state it overwrites and _on_message undoes it as soon as the printer sends
another report on its own topic, since inbound traffic proves the power was
never cut. A reconnect discards the saved state, so a genuine power cut is
unaffected. Each plug also gains a controls_printer_power flag (default true,
backfilled) that gates all five power-off paths, and the queue's power-on step
now picks the flagged plug instead of whichever linked plug came first.
A Shelly reports one energy figure — aenergy.total, a lifetime counter in Wh
that never resets. Bambuddy had a single REST energy field and filed whatever
it found under "today", so the value never reset at midnight, and Yesterday
and Total stayed at zero: get_energy() simply never set those keys.
With `total` unpopulated, the hourly snapshot recorder skipped the plug, so
the Statistics page's energy figure was zero as well, not just the Settings
card.
Split the REST energy config in two: rest_energy_path still means "used
today", rest_energy_total_path means "lifetime counter". A Shelly has only
the latter; a Tasmota behind a REST bridge has both; sharing a URL costs one
fetch, not two.
Then derive Today and Yesterday from that counter using the snapshots we were
already taking: today = counter now - counter at the last local midnight;
yesterday = the gap between the two previous midnights. Local midnight, not
UTC — a UTC boundary rolls Today over at 02:00 in Berlin. The snapshot loop
now ticks on the local hour so a reading lands on the boundary instead of up
to an hour early. A counter that goes backwards (factory reset) reports
nothing rather than a negative.
Collateral, found while verifying on both engines: the smart-plug DateTime
columns are naive UTC but the code wrote aware datetimes into them. SQLite
drops the offset; asyncpg raises DataError. So on Postgres every snapshot
capture raised inside the loop's except, and every status poll raised on
last_checked — the whole subsystem was dead on the database we recommend for
multi-printer installs. All plug timestamps are naive UTC now.
Existing REST users with a cumulative path in the today field must move it to
the new lifetime field; the form and wiki now name which counter each wants.
asyncio holds only a weak reference to tasks returned by
``create_task``. Fire-and-forget callers that discard the return value
let the event loop GC the task before it finishes, logging
``Task was destroyed but it is pending!`` with no traceback. The #1648
support-bundle review surfaced 94 such warnings in 8 days of v0.2.4.5
-- the silently-vanished exceptions reach support bundles as opaque
GC notices instead of actionable errors.
New backend/app/core/tasks.py::spawn_background_task(coro, *, name=None)
is the one place in the codebase that calls asyncio.create_task. It
stores the task in a module-level set, attaches a done-callback that
auto-removes on completion AND surfaces any uncaught exception via the
logger with the originating traceback, and accepts name= so a leak
source is traceable through /tracebacks and the log line. Cancelled
tasks don't log (a shutting-down service is not an error).
Migrated the 16 truly-orphan create_task call sites to the helper:
main.py (8):
reconcile-stale, cooldown-poweroff, energy calc, smart-plug,
maintenance-check, photo-then-notify, layer-timelapse,
scan-timelapse, print-scheduler, notify-no-archive (the last one
was hand-rolling the same pattern with task + no-op done_callback)

Users integrating a Shelly plug through an external MQTT broker
(ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT, HA's MQTT broker, etc.) lost the plug's
power/state/energy readings after every Bambuddy restart. The only
fix was opening Settings → Smart Plugs, renaming the topic to a dummy
value, saving, renaming back, and saving again.
Root cause: three code paths configure an MQTT smart plug's
subscriptions — the startup restore in main.py, the create route,
and the update route — and they had drifted. The create/update
routes used the newer per-type model (mqtt_power_topic /
mqtt_energy_topic / mqtt_state_topic with per-type paths,
multipliers and mqtt_state_on_value) while the startup restore was
still on the legacy single-topic model. Worse, the restore loop
short-circuited on `if plug.mqtt_topic:`, skipping any plug whose
topics were only set in the new per-type fields — exactly the shape
of a Shelly-via-ioBroker config, which publishes power and state on
separate topics. The "rename, save, rename back" workaround routed
through the update endpoint and re-established the subscription the
correct way.
Extracted the topic-resolution + service.subscribe() call into
subscribe_plug_to_mqtt() in mqtt_smart_plug.py and routed all three
paths through it so the schema can't drift again. The helper keeps
the legacy `mqtt_topic` field working as a fallback for all three
data types — matching the behaviour the startup restore used to
have via subscribe()'s internal `effective_*_topic or topic`
collapsing, and matching the change-detection dict already used
during updates.
Regression tests cover: per-type topics restored without a legacy
topic, legacy single-topic backward compat, per-type multipliers
overriding legacy, per-type winning when both are set, the
empty-config skip case, and topic-list de-duplication.
All backend timestamps used datetime.now() (server local time) or the
deprecated datetime.utcnow(). The frontend's parseUTCDate() assumes
timestamps without timezone indicators are UTC and appends 'Z', so
stored timestamps were off by the timezone offset when the container's
timezone wasn't UTC.
Backend: replaced datetime.now() and datetime.utcnow() with
datetime.now(timezone.utc) across 16 files (~80 call sites) for all
database fields and DB comparisons. Cosmetic timestamps (filenames,
user-facing local time formatting) intentionally left as local time.
Frontend: replaced 13 new Date(backendTimestamp) calls with
parseUTCDate() across 8 files to correctly interpret UTC timestamps.
- Add HA_URL and HA_TOKEN environment variables for automatic HA
integration configuration in HA add-on deployments
- Environment variables always override database settings with
non-negotiable precedence; database values preserved for fallback
- Auto-enable integration when both env vars are set; partial config
(one env var) uses database enable state without auto-enabling
- Add centralized get_homeassistant_settings() function following
Spoolman pattern; replace direct database queries across codebase
- Add ha_url_from_env, ha_token_from_env, ha_env_managed fields to
AppSettings schema to inform frontend about configuration source
- UI shows read-only fields with lock icons and "(Environment Managed)"
labels when env-controlled; toggle shows auto-enable badge
- Add comprehensive test coverage: 9 integration + 8 unit tests
Closes#283
Both frontend and backend were blocking printers that already had any
smart plug linked, preventing users from adding multiple HA entities
to the same printer.
Changes:
- Frontend: Only filter out printers with existing Tasmota plugs
- Backend: Only check for duplicate Tasmota plugs on create/update
- HA entities (switches, scripts, lights, etc.) can now be linked
multiple times to the same printer for different automations
- Tasmota plugs remain limited to one per printer (physical device)
- Restored "Show on Printer Card" toggle for HA entities
- Fixed printer card only showing script.* entities; now shows all
HA entities with the toggle enabled
- HA entities now default to auto_on=False and auto_off=False
- Printer cards now update immediately when HA entities change
Closes#214
- Path is now optional for power, energy, and state topics
- When path is empty, raw MQTT payload value is used directly
- Energy and state topics no longer fall back to power topic
- Added helper text in UI explaining path is optional

Closes 173
- Add separate MQTT topics for power, energy, and state monitoring
- mqtt_power_topic, mqtt_power_path, mqtt_power_multiplier

- Support different MQTT topics per data type (e.g., Zigbee2MQTT with
separate power/energy/state topics)
- Individual multipliers for power and energy (e.g., mW→W, Wh→kWh)
- Configurable ON value for state monitoring (e.g., "ON", "true", "1")

- Update frontend form with organized Power/Energy/State sections
Closes#173
Enhance Home Assistant script support with automation triggers and
printer card visibility control.
- Script automation: Run scripts automatically when main plug turns on/off
- Show/hide scripts on printer cards (configurable per script)
- Scripts appear in dedicated row on printer cards with quick-run buttons
- Toast notification when triggering scripts from settings/sidebar
Closes#176

topics and extract power/energy data from JSON payloads. This enables
integration with Zigbee2MQTT, Shelly, Tasmota discovery, and other
MQTT-enabled energy monitoring devices.
Features:
- New "mqtt" plug type alongside tasmota and homeassistant
- Subscribe to any MQTT topic with configurable JSON paths

- Full backup/restore support for MQTT plug configurations
Closes#173
- Add search parameter to /ha/entities endpoint for searching all entities
- Replace entity dropdown with searchable combobox (type to filter)
- Default shows switch/light/input_boolean; search queries all domains
- Make all three energy sensor dropdowns searchable (Power, Energy Today, Total)
- Each dropdown filters by entity_id or friendly_name
- Shows entity details (name, id, state, unit) in dropdown options
Fixes issue where HA plugs with non-standard entity naming couldn't
find their related power/energy sensors.
Home Assistant smart plugs can now use separate sensor entities for
energy monitoring, enabling energy tracking for plugs that expose
power/energy data as separate sensors (Tapo, IKEA Zigbee2mqtt, etc.).
Features:
- Configure dedicated power (W), today (kWh), and total (kWh) sensors
- New API endpoint GET /api/v1/smart-plugs/ha/sensors lists available sensors
- Falls back to switch entity attributes if no sensors configured
- Print energy tracking now works for HA plugs (not just Tasmota)
Backend:
- Added ha_power_entity, ha_energy_today_entity, ha_energy_total_entity
fields to SmartPlug model
- Updated get_energy() to fetch from configured sensor entities
- Added _get_plug_energy() helper to handle both plug types
- Updated backup/restore to include new fields
- Added database migration for new columns
Frontend:
- Added energy sensor dropdowns in AddSmartPlugModal (shown for HA plugs)
- Dropdowns filtered by unit (W/kW for power, kWh/Wh for energy)
Tests:
- Added 4 new integration tests for HA energy sensor functionality
Docs:
- Updated README with new feature
- Updated CHANGELOG with 0.1.6b11 entry
When exporting individual plates from a multi-plate 3MF in Bambu Studio,
all uploaded archives showed plate 1's name and thumbnail regardless of
which plate was actually exported.
Root cause: The 3MF parser used an incorrect XPath lookup (plate_idx
attribute) and didn't extract the plate index from slice_info.config
metadata.
Changes:
- Extract plate index from <metadata key="index" value="N"/> in
slice_info.config
- Remove incorrect plate[@plate_idx='N'] XPath lookup that doesn't
work for single-plate exports
- Set self.plate_number from extracted index so _extract_thumbnail()
uses the correct plate thumbnail (e.g., plate_5.png instead of
plate_1.png)
- Append " - Plate N" to print_name when plate index > 1 to
distinguish multi-plate exports
- Add 7 unit tests for plate index extraction and print_name
enhancement
- Add plug_type field to SmartPlug model ("tasmota" or "homeassistant")
- Add ha_entity_id field for Home Assistant entity reference
- Add global HA settings (ha_url, ha_token, ha_enabled) in Settings
- Create homeassistant_service.py with REST API calls for entity control
- Update smart_plug_manager to dispatch to correct service by plug_type
- Add HA entity discovery endpoint (/ha/entities)
