Feature request: send an image in a given interval

[6ffm70]

Would be nice to have snapshots sent over Signal during printing - as a reminder that the printer needs to be looked at from time to time.

Both would be good: to have pictures sent every n minutes or every n percent of print job progress.

Oh, and an information about the size of signal-cli's sent cache, and a button or routine to clear it.

Still keen

Some sort of a progress notification would be great. I was originally hoping to be able to get a message every x minutes with print progress, estimated time remaining, etc. A picture would be a great addition.

I was looking for the same and I extended Signal-Notifier to support this and some other event notifications.
Added:

• Notification on Cancel / Fail
• Notification on printer Disconnect
• Notification upon progress (configurable % interval)
• Adding snapshots is now configurable of each notification individually

Configuration dialog:

I'm currently looking into how to pack this up as an Octoprint Plugin Package.

Next addition will be to have the printer somewhat controllable via Signal Messages.

Awesome fbbln! That's exactly what I' m looking for. Keep it up!

I have another Octoprint plugin that does things at scheduled intervals while printing. It should be pretty easy to add code to do what you're talking about.
