+## Appendix
+
+### Integration with Octoprint
+
+Octoprint can optionally trigger some actions to the TFT sending specific gcodes. The following actions and the related triggering gcodes are currently supported by the TFT fw:
+
+**start:**
+M118 A1 P0 action:print_start
+
+**end:**
+M118 A1 P0 action:print_end
+
+**cancel:**
+M118 A1 P0 action:cancel
+
+**pause:**
+M118 A1 P0 action:pause
+
+**resume:**
+M118 A1 P0 action:resume
+
+**time remaining progress:**
+M118 A1 P0 action:notification Time Left hms (e.g. 02h04m06s)
+
+M117 Time Left hms
+**file data progress:**
+
+M118 A1 P0 action:notification Data Left / (e.g. 123/12345)
+M117 Data Left /
+
+When the trigger "print_start" is received, the TFT switches to Printing menu.
+Once on Printing menu, the "pause", "resume" and "stop" buttons on the menu will be disabled.
+That means only Octoprint will control the print.
+Only on print end or cancel the TFT Printing menu is finalized (statistics available etc...) and unlocked (it can be closed).
+
+**NOTE:** A new plugin on Octoprint implementing the above protocol should be the preferable way (available to everyone)
