Client Lifecycle

Preferred Pattern

Use MoonrakerClient as an async context manager so transport setup and teardown are automatic.

from pymoonraker import MoonrakerClient

async with MoonrakerClient("192.168.1.100") as client:
    await client.gcode("M105")

Connection Behavior

• connect() starts both HTTP and WebSocket transports
• disconnect() gracefully stops event/RPC loops and closes transports
• Auto-reconnect (enabled by default) attempts to restore connectivity on unexpected disconnects
• Printer object subscriptions made through subscribe_objects() are replayed after reconnect

Manual Lifecycle

If you cannot use context managers, call connect() and disconnect() yourself:

client = MoonrakerClient("192.168.1.100")
await client.connect()
try:
    await client.gcode("G28")
finally:
    await client.disconnect()
