Connect Streamer.bot
How to connect Kinkajou Bridge to Streamer.bot as a user.
What Bridge does
Bridge acts as a WebSocket client to Streamer.bot’s WebSocket Server. When a printer event occurs, Bridge calls DoAction with a name like Kinkajou.print.started and a set of arguments (printer id, name, plugin id, and event payload).
Only one Streamer.bot connection is configured in Bridge. It receives events from every printer — cloud-linked and standalone alike.
Setup in Bridge
- In Streamer.bot, enable Servers/Clients → WebSocket Server and note the host, port, endpoint, and password (if any).
- In Bridge, open Streamer.bot in the top nav.
- If you are not connected yet, fill in:
- Host (often
127.0.0.1) - Port (often
8080) - Endpoint (often
/) - Password (optional)
- Host (often
- Save. Bridge stays on a connection summary with a status badge. Use Edit connection to change settings (leave the password blank to keep the current value).
If the WebSocket cannot connect, Bridge keeps the integration in an error state — fix the server settings in Streamer.bot, then edit and save again (or restart Bridge).
Next steps
