Power Off GCODE ignored in regards to polling status #283
Description
I’m using a plugin called GCODE System Commands, along with custom G-code that executes system commands to turn my camera on and off. The issue is that when the plugin performs a poll to check the printer’s status, it refuses to run the G-code if the printer is already disconnected or powered off.
In most cases, this behavior makes sense—since you normally can’t send G-code without a connected printer. However, in my setup, I rely on this G-code to control external hardware (a webcam) even when the printer isn’t connected. Because of this, the plugin’s current behavior prevents my camera from turning off properly when the printer is offline.
Expected behavior:
The plugin should allow running system commands from G-code even when the printer is disconnected, or provide an option to override this restriction.
