Siri integration with OctoPod

Using Siri shortcuts with OctoPod

What kind of things can I do via Siri?

• Warm up/Cool down multiple printers' bed
• Warm up/Cool down multiple printers' extruders
• Pause/Resume/Cancel/Restart running print job

How does it work?

Siri is very powerful but not yet as mature as Alexa so bear with me. OctoPod will generate Siri suggestions for the things listed above. You will have to go to the iOS and open the Settings app. Go to Siri & Search where you will find the suggested Shortcuts.

You will then be able to say things like "Hey Siri, cool down bed" or whatever you decided to use as your phrase. At any moment you can go back and change the phrase to better fit your needs.

Siri suggestions will not be present by default for existing printers. Siri suggestions will be generated as you use the app (see usages). For instance, if you try setting the bed temperature to 60 then a Siri suggestion for that action will be created.
