Problem or Use Case

I've added over 50 printers to Bambuddy. One of them ran out of filament, paused, and generated an HMS error about running out of filament. From the Bambuddy "Printers" tab I saw that there was a single printer with the "available" status, but no indication of which one. Setting the view mode to "status" didn't seem to provide a better view either.

Proposed Solution

  • Printers with an HMS error are counted as a new red "Problem" number at the top of the page
  • The status pip for printers with an HMS error is set to red
  • When in the "Status" view, printers with an HMS error appear at the top in their own section
  • The progress bar for printers that are "paused" is set to yellow

Alternatives Considered

It seems like the HMS error status is accessible through the API, so I'll hook into that with Home Assistant to pull the over-all status of the print farm row.
