As you already knows, yesterday we released an article to demonstrate the ability interact with 3d printers, such as reading the temperature on turn on/off the light. In nice to have, but very limited functionality for out project. It was a challenge to grab camera stream and run the printing job using Local API…. 

After some nightly research, we found the solution. There is a addon for the Home Assistant which will allow us to perform any action with the 3d printer locally.  

 To make it work in tight deadlines, we decided to run the Home Assistant app on our laptop, using Hyper-V, and expose port securely via the Cloudflare tunnels which is also providing HTTPS certificates. 

We are claiming the following badges: 

• #Nasty hackers,  

• #Thieving Bastards: we are using Cloudflare, Open source  Home Assistant and Bambu lab HA integration addon. 

Categories:  

• #Low code – for the integrations with Bambu lab local printer API without single line of the code 

• #Governance & Best Practices – following best practices of exposing only secured services to the public internet
