My printer and octoprint server are not running 24/7. Since the new version with the UI integration it seems that I have to have octoprint running when HA starts up to get the integration working. If octoprint is not running during startup the sensors, etc. won’t work even after powering up octoprint. This is quite annoying…
Any way to fix this? e.g. reloading the integration or something like that?
My Octoprint server is running 24/7 and the integration has started to mess up for me too. None of the entities are available despite the server being up.
I think it also requires that printer is powered on. I’ve seen some error message in my log related to this:
2021-11-07 14:08:47 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.octoprint] Unable to retrieve printer information: Printer offline
2021-11-07 14:08:47 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.octoprint.sensor] Printer appears to be offline, skipping temperature sensors
Now these sensors not only do not show unavailable, but are not created at all… It is messing the layout of Octoprint dashboard badly…
This is really annoying. The last couple of upgrades were easy, but 2021.11 gave me some headaches. The new Octoprint integration broke a lot of my printing workflow and also my old firetablet 7 quit working with fully kiosk browser. But that seems to be resolved with 2021.11.2 and the tablet works again.
Reviving an old thread here because I had this problem and came looking. My solution was to say screw the integration and went with the MQTT plugin on the Octoprint side. Pass everything through MQTT to HA. Only other thing you need to do is set up a generic IP camera integration and point it to the Octoprint Webcam and you are good to go. Everything is working for me again and honestly it seems to be working better than the integration. I just turn on my gear when I want to print and away it goes.
