MQTT for A1

[DruiD]

@RyanDe1

Just for people reading this later. For my X1 I can control it using local mqtt even when connected to the cloud but for the A1 mini it has to be in lan mode to control things via mqtt. They both will send status messages regardless but control of the A1 mini only works in LAN mode with the latest firmware as of 12/15/24.

Thanks for this, I was using a Python script to try and pull data from my A1 using MQTT and getting connection refused, yet the same A1 credentials work fine in HA and NodeRed - and all works fine on the X1C, so maybe the local lan is required on the A1 for direct MQTT query- I cant even get MQTT explorer to connect for basic status messages… 'Error 5 Connection refused"

yes, send this message via mqtt to your printer

{
    "pushing": {
        "sequence_id": "0",
        "command": "pushall",
        "version": 1,
        "push_target": 1
    }
}

and it should return a bunch of information but the item you are looking for will be called “mc_remaining_time”: and that is time left in minutes I believe
