@ Commands

New in version 1.3.7.

@ commands (also known as host commands elsewhere) are special commands you may include in GCODE files streamed through OctoPrint to your printer or send as part of GCODE scripts, through the Terminal Tab, the API or plugins. Contrary to other commands they will never be sent to the printer but instead trigger functions inside OctoPrint.

They are always of the form @<command>[ <parameters>], e.g. @pause or @custom_command with some parameters.

Out of the box OctoPrint supports handling of these commands starting with version 1.3.7:

@cancel

OctoPrint will cancel the current print job like if the “Cancel” button had been clicked. This command doesn’t take any parameters.

@abort

Same as cancel.

@pause

OctoPrint will pause the current print job just like if the “Pause” button had been clicked. This command doesn’t take any parameters.

@resume

OctoPrint will resume the current print job just like if the “Resume” button had been clicked. This command doesn’t take any parameters.

Support for additional commands may be added by plugins by implementing a handler for one of the octoprint.comm.protocol.atcommand hooks.
