# OctoPrint-PortLister

Have you noticed that if you load up the OctoPrint web page when your printer is

off, the printer's port isn't in the list?  Then when you turn on the printer

you have to refresh the page to make it show up?  This plugin fixes that.

It watches for the device to appear (when you turn it on) and then notifies all

the web clients to refresh the list of ports.

It also (if you have autoconnect turned on), will automatically connect to the

printer (if the new port is the same as the one you've selected in connection

settings) after a reasonable (long) delay to wait for the printer to actually

come on.  The default delay is 20 secs.  It's settable in config.yaml, if

anybody uses this plugin besides me, I could be talked into a settings page.

## Setup

Install via the bundled [Plugin Manager](https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki/Plugin:-Plugin-Manager)

or manually using this URL:

    https://github.com/markwal/OctoPrint-PortLister/archive/master.zip

## Configuration

In ~/.octoprint/config.yaml, the autoconnect_delay can be configured to

something other than the default 20 seconds it takes my printer to boot up.

```

plugins:

  portlister:

    autoconnect_delay: 20

```
