[Feature Request] Publish current layer + total layers to mqtt about octoprint-mqtt HOT 7 CLOSED

Having the plugin DisplayLayerProgress installed (and event messages enabled) there are added topics that include the information you're looking for.

from octoprint-mqtt.

I installed the DisplayLayerProgress plugin, but how can I verify event messages are enabled?

Under the MQTT plugin settings, go to the Topic Tab, ther you'll find the Activate event messages checkbox.

Below is a screen snip showing the MQTT topics added. Though probably you'll have to start a print first for the topics to appear.

Yup, I eventually implemented it in nodered. Thanks for all your help!

OK, I do see those events on MQTT, but they are not discovered by HA, even though I have home assistant discovery plugin installed :(

from octoprint-mqtt.

Additional MQTT topics are indeed not auto discovered by HA, as the discovery plugin has no way to include that.

However there are wel documented ways to create MQTT automations and sensors.

E.g. I've got a Current Layer sensor setup like so:

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: 'Octoprint current layer'
      state_topic: 'octoPrint/event/DisplayLayerProgress_layerChanged'
      value_template: '{{ value_json.currentLayer }}'
