Epson WF-3540 ink level monitoring

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

been ‘inspecting’ the html page of the above cartridge-status page, but it seems there’s no mentioning of any percentages. Might that explain the output-less outcome of the above scripts?

Does anyone of you see any percentages in the epson driver page at all? I only have these cartridge icons, and no reference in the underlying code…

Cheers,
Marius

[tarbax]

can’t get this to working on my XP-900 and i have an extra PBK cartridge.
can anyone help me ?

[Tobse101]

Hello,
could some of you help me to get this running for my WF-5690?

Following is my html (https://192.168.0.101/PRESENTATION/ADVANCED/INFO_PRTINFO/TOP):

Thanks in advance

Edit: curl -k (ignore selfsigned cert) solved my problem

[Tobse101]

@rpitera Thanks for the great icons! Could you also create one for the ink waste container?

Icon in WebGui:

Thanks in advance

[cheese]

[Tobse101]

Thank you!

hi community,

trying to get this right for once, I can’t use any of the posted curl commands, or better, they wont give any useful feedback.

I have a wf 5710 printer, and the page is on https://192.168.1.42/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML

If i insect that page this is the result, I can see all cartridges with a ‘height’ which I take it is the ink level?

please help me creating the correct curl command, cause i really dont understand what awk -f does or the rest of the lines that follow that command…

—edit----

yess!! getting there:

had to use this:

sensor:
  - platform: command_line
    name: Epson ink level Black
    command: /usr/bin/curl -k https://192.168.1.42/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML | awk -F"'" '/Ink_K.PNG/ && $6+0 == $6 { printf "%.0f\n", $6 / 50 * 100 }'
    unit_of_measurement: '%'
    scan_interval: 14400

created binary_sensors, to be able to use the slider in an automation:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      ink_level_black_threshold:
        friendly_name: 'Ink level black threshold'
        value_template: >
          {{(states('sensor.epson_ink_level_black') | float) <
            (states('input_number.ink_level') | float)}} 

automation:
  - alias: 'Printer Ink Alert'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id:
        - binary_sensor.ink_level_black_threshold
        - binary_sensor.ink_level_magenta_threshold
        - binary_sensor.ink_level_yellow_threshold
        - binary_sensor.ink_level_cyan_threshold
        - binary_sensor.ink_level_waste_threshold
      to: 'on'
    condition:
      condition: template
      value_template: >
        {{ is_state('input_boolean.notify_system', 'on')}}
    action:
      - service: notify.notify
        data_template:
          title: 'Low ink'
          message: >
            {% set color = trigger.entity_id[24:-10] %}
            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} is low at 
            {{states('sensor.epson_ink_level_' + color)}}
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {{ is_state('input_boolean.persistent_notification_create', 'on')}}
      - service: persistent_notification.create
        data_template:
          title: 'Low ink'
          message: >
            {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} is low
          notification_id: low-printer-ink-level-alert

customized the sensors to show a red_flag icon:

homeassistant:
  customize:
    sensor.epson_ink_level_black:
      templates:
        entity_picture: >
          if (state > entities['input_number.ink_level'].state ) return '/local/devices/epson/ink_k.png';
          return '/local/devices/epson/ink_k_alert.png';

have fun!

HI
edited @cheese’ s and @rpitera’s images to all transparent, with and without flags

to show up as nicely without the white background, in the frontend:

here they are if you can use them:

[legoracers (Daan Tholenaars)]

How do I set these icons in lovelace? using the png as icon does not give me an error but it show up blank.

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

@legoracers

using the png as icon does not give me an error but it show up blank.

you can set .png files as entity_picture (either in known_devices, in templates when using template sensors, or by using customize.
Icons are only useable with the mdi: icons

[cjsimmons (Chris Simmons)]

Just came across this. Thanks for the icons. I have a HP printer and was needing some nice icons for the ink, and I should be able to adapt some of this for my printer.

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

thought I’d post the relevant cartridge icons for my new WF printer:

[tarbax]

how do i fix this for my black and photo black ?
printer epson XP-900

home assistant:

the numbers of the black and photo black are behind eachother.

• platform: command_line
  name: Epson ink level Black
  command: /usr/bin/curl -k https://myprintersipadress/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML | awk -F"’" ‘/Ink_K.PNG/ && $6+0 == $6 { printf “%.0f\n”, $6 / 50 * 100 }’
  unit_of_measurement: ‘%’

[timseebeck]

Hi @tarbax , I don’t own an Epson XP-900 so what I’m going to suggest has not been tested. It seems that black and photo black information cannot be properly split because Ink_K.PNG appears twice so I would suggest to modify the command a little bit: using head and tail commands. What about this?

/usr/bin/curl -k https://myprintersipadress/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML | grep Ink_K.PNG | head -1 | awk -F"’" ‘/Ink_K.PNG/ && $6+0 == $6 { printf “%.0f\n”, $6 / 50 * 100 }’

and this?

/usr/bin/curl -k https://myprintersipadress/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML | grep Ink_K.PNG | tail -1 | awk -F"’" ‘/Ink_K.PNG/ && $6+0 == $6 { printf “%.0f\n”, $6 / 50 * 100 }’

Good luck!

[tarbax]

Thanks! i just tested and i get unknown state.

[timseebeck]

Wow, quick reply! I had to edit my post twice because, although I cannont test, I knew it wasn’t going to run with my two first replies. Have you tried my last edit?

[tarbax]

yes i tried the latest version.

[timseebeck]

Can you paste the output of this?

/usr/bin/curl -k https://myprintersipadress/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML

so I can play a little bit with it in my computer.
Not an expert but willing to help

Ok, so I do:

$ cat kk.txt  | awk -F"'" '/Ink_K.PNG/ && $6+0 == $6 { printf "%.0f\n", $6 / 50 * 100 }'

and get:

68
76

So I would try to put head and tail at the end:

command: /usr/bin/curl -k https://myprintersipadress/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML | awk -F"’" ‘/Ink_K.PNG/ && $6+0 == $6 { printf “%.0f\n”, $6 / 50 * 100 }’ | head -1

and:

command: /usr/bin/curl -k https://myprintersipadress/PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/PRTINFO.HTML | awk -F"’" ‘/Ink_K.PNG/ && $6+0 == $6 { printf “%.0f\n”, $6 / 50 * 100 }’ | tail -1

Good luck!
