Anycubic Cloud Integration for Home Assistant – maintained fork with MQTT, ACE, files and camera

Hi everyone,

I would like to share an actively maintained fork of the Anycubic Cloud integration for Home Assistant:

It connects supported Anycubic printers to Home Assistant and provides cloud polling, optional MQTT real-time updates, printer controls, file management, ACE/material information and camera features.

This project is based on the original work by WaresWichall. Many thanks for creating the original integration and frontend card.

Main features

  • Printer status and print progress
  • Bed, nozzle and chamber temperatures
  • Print controls such as start, pause and cancel
  • Cloud polling with updates every minute
  • Optional MQTT real-time updates several times per second
  • Local and USB file management
  • ACE and material-slot information
  • Material colour and preset management
  • Firmware update entities
  • Native camera-light entity for compatible printers
  • Optional Anycubic Cloud camera stream
  • Optional mapping of local Home Assistant camera.* entities
  • Integrated Anycubic Cloud panel
  • Separate dashboard card

Tested or reported printers

  • Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo
  • Anycubic Kobra X
  • Anycubic Kobra S1
  • Anycubic Kobra 2
  • Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro
  • Anycubic Kobra 2 Max
  • Anycubic Photon Mono M5s
  • Anycubic M7 Pro

Support can vary between printer models, especially for cameras, lights, ACE units and other optional capabilities. Feedback from users with additional models is very welcome.

Installation

The integration is currently available through HACS as a custom repository:

  1. Open HACS

  2. Go to Integrations

  3. Open the menu and select Custom repositories

  4. Add:

    https://github.com/ljschmitt/hass-anycubic_cloud_v3

  5. Select Integration as the category

  6. Install the integration and restart Home Assistant

The submission for inclusion in the standard HACS repository is currently waiting for review:

https://github.com/hacs/default/pull/8869

Authentication and MQTT

For MQTT real-time updates, the recommended authentication method is an access token from Anycubic Slicer Next on Windows.

A token obtained from the Anycubic website can also be used, but this provides cloud polling only and does not support MQTT real-time updates.

Detailed instructions are available in the README:

https://github.com/ljschmitt/hass-anycubic_cloud_v3#readme

Dashboard card

A matching maintained fork of the Anycubic dashboard card is available here:

The integration and dashboard card are currently both available as stable version v0.3.5.

Feedback and testing

I would appreciate feedback about:

  • Additional Anycubic printer models
  • Printers with one or two ACE units
  • Camera and camera-light support
  • Local and USB file management
  • MQTT stability
  • Installation or upgrade problems

Please do not post access tokens, printer IDs, serial numbers, private IP addresses or complete diagnostic files containing personal information publicly.
