FilaMan System — 3D Filament management for Home Assistant

Hi everyone :wave:,

I’m excited to share my Home Assistant Add-on/App for the FilaMan System — a local filament management solution you can run alongside Home Assistant.

:link: GitHub Repository: https://github.com/netscout2001/ha-filaman-system
:pushpin: Based on the FilaMan Filament Management System — an open-source 3D printing filament inventory & NFC/weight management tool.

Below are screenshots of the FilaMan Web UI and device views (from the main FilaMan project site):

(These images represent the upstream FilaMan system UI & hardware — the add-on runs this service inside Home Assistant.)


:brain: What it Does

This add-on runs the FilaMan Web UI server inside a Home Assistant Supervisor add-on, giving you:

:heavy_check_mark: Filament spool tracking
:heavy_check_mark: AMS (Automatic Material System) support for compatible 3D printers
:heavy_check_mark: Multi-user web interface for managing filament inventory
:heavy_check_mark: NFC tag writing & weight based inventory workflows
:heavy_check_mark: Local, no cloud requirement
:heavy_check_mark: SpoolmanAPI support

All that directly accessible from your HA host.


:gear: Installation

  1. Open Supervisor → Add-on Store
  2. Add the repository URL:
  1. Install the FilaMan System add­on
  2. Start the add­on
  3. Access the WebUI at: http://<HOME_ASSISTANT_HOST>:<PORT:8000>
  4. Login:
    Default Email: [email protected]
    Default Password: admin123

:gear: Notes

:pushpin: Default web UI port is 8000 — changeable via add-on options.
:pushpin: If the add-on fails to start, check the logs for port conflicts.

:point_right: The add-on currently doesn’t expose native HA sensors — it runs the upstream FilaMan server. For HA entity exposure you can link with Spoolman or other REST/JSON sensors if desired.


:speech_balloon: Support / Feedback

If you encounter issues or want features added, please open an issue on the GitHub repo with logs and details.

Thanks! One question, though… how to login first time / create a user? I’m stuck at login page…

You‘ll find the informations in the ReadMe of the official System:

I was looking there before i asked… all i can find is “ask your administrator”… i AM “the one”…

I added it now to my GitHub Repo also.
