Hi,
I'm new to octoprint and only have had it for two days now. I have installed octoprint on a raspberry pi 4B and it is working okay, but I do have a question. I saw on video's from youtube that all the folks having an ocotprint, installed it on their pi and then connect the pi power to the PSU of the printer. I was wondering if I could just power on the pi or octoprint wireless via my computer cause else i still have to walk over to my printer (lazy problems). This could be achieved by letting the pi run with ocotprint but this means that it stays on 24/7. That is not a huge problem but then the pi also powers the printer its screen. This can't is good, so I taught what if I put a relays between the power pins of the USB or else just cover the positive with tape. This is however a bit skeptic and I still have to run the pi 24/7.
Here is the moral of the question: is there a way that you can start the pi (or octoprint) wireless via your computer?
And if not can it be harmful if I let the pi stay on 24/7? (although it is already painful for the electricity bill by then)
Hope someone can help me or perhaps link a form tab that already discusses this issue
