      Currently there's a way for motors to drop current if no moves occur for awhile. Is there a way to run other Gcode when this idle timeout triggers? I'd like to set up some stuff to automatically turn off other things with a timeout.

        Currently there isn't. What else did you want to do when the idle timeout triggers?

          Well, I'm hoping for an idle timeouts independent of the motor one.

          For example, a standby routine after a half-hour of being idle:

          ; After 30 minutes of inactivity, send the effector to the rear right corner 
          ; and power off, waiting for temperatures to cool.
          Mxxx I"Standby" S1800 P"G1 X225 Y225 F3600; M81 S1" 
          

          Where I is used for a timeout label, S specifies the time in seconds for the idle timeout, and P specifies some commands (or a single command invoking a macro) to run.

            I've added this to the firmware wishlist.

                @Jacoby6000 add some beeps to that routine. You would not want to have your fingers around troubleshooting some mechanical issues at that time 🙂

                  +1 switching printer to idle and completely off later will be very appreciated indeed 🙂
                  optional audio (let say 1 min before and 10 sec before ) notice will add safety

                    Hi,
                    Had this functionality been added ? It would be great indeed. Or maybe could you give me the github ticket number if any, to follow it ? Or the whishlist mentionned upper is not in github ?
                    I suppose implementation could be similar to M84 ?
                    All the best,
