The `OctoPrint` binary sensor platform let you monitor if your 3D printer is printing or if there was a printing error.

To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
binary_sensor:
  platform: octoprint
  monitored_conditions:
    - Printing
    - Printing Error
```

Configuration variables:

- **monitored_conditions** array (*Required*): States to monitor.
  - Printing
  - Printing Error

<p class='note'>You must have the [OctoPrint component](/components/octoprint/) configured to use this sensor.</p>
