AnkerMake M5 3D Printer

[Simpson]

Has anyone found a way to integrate the AnkerMake M5? I would like to trigger an automation that switches off the power to the 3d printer after a print is complete.

The easiest way to do this is with a power plug. Monitor the power usage and once it hits below a threshold you can turn the printer off.
I am using a meross plug and once the power is below 20 watts for 10 mins it turns the printer off.

I am also interessted in that topic.
Are there any news?

I ended up using a cheap power plug. If the printer estimates it will finish in 30 minutes, I ask Siri to shut off the printer in 40 minutes. The power plug doesn’t detect power draw like others can.

Okay, I am using nearly the same approach.
When the push for finishing arrives, I power the plug off manually with Siri.

I was more interessting in the additional properties from

I started to create a feature request, maybe you can vote on:

Implement support for Ankermake 3D printers

Hello together, I was wondering if it also possible to build up an integration for Ankermake 3D printers: It seems that there is a kind of library available: And it seems that there is also a kind of project available: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnkerMake/comments/191cq3x/i_integrated_my_ankermake_m5_with_home_assistant/ Maybe we can bring the things together. Thanks for support.
