Hello,
Trying to find a way to monitor traffice sending to or from a device.
The goal i’m trying is to turn on printer with powerplug (older but very good LJ4200) and then set timer for 20 minutes.
If in the meantime a job is printed, would like to reset the timer to 20 mins again.
After that, printer turns of at 20 mins.
Near the printer is a zwave button for turning on the printer.
Any ideas? Using a unify network, but that particular option is not there (measure bandwidth)
Regards,
Monitoring network traffic of a printer might not yield the results you are expecting due to spooling and other things. You might have better chances by monitoring the printers power consumption. Maybe with a z-wave smartplug and reset your timer if the consumption exceeds a defined threshold.
Sound like a good approach. Printing consumes more energy than idle.
Thanx
Ok, already built. Working great.

True, but printer always does some ‘wake-up’ from time to time.
Nu being quiet for most of the time
