Problem or Use Case

Howdy,

I would love if all aspects (the API) was in MQTT. To be able to do event-driven actions on my printer(s) would be great. Right now the power switch aspect is too limited, but this information was in MQTT, node-red could trigger events into my setup.

Proposed Solution

Expose the API via MQTT so event driven actions can happen.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Feature Category

Print Archiving

Priority

Nice to have

Mockups or Examples

Contribution

I would be willing to help implement this feature

Just to understand the requirement: why can't you use the HTTP API?

To answer directly, nothing stops me per se, but the biggest benefit for MQTT is decoupling. Right now, integrations feel tied directly to the API's specific structure. MQTT acts as a universal translator; it allows me to broadcast Bambuddy events to a broker where any number of other apps (Node-Red / HASS with zigbee & zwave) can subscribe to them. It moves the platform away from a 'request-response' loop and into a modern, event-driven workflow.

This would allow for instant notifications, more responsive automations, and a much cleaner integration experience for anyone running a local server or smart home setup.

So you just want to subscribe to the MQTT stream and don't post anything?

At the moment my use case is subscribe, but I could see others wanting to have Pub/Sub.
