Ultimaker 2+ Connect - Pause at layer Script, sort of

· Ultimaker 2+ Connect - Pause at layer Script, sort of
So, I finally have a Script that works for me and probably you will laugh 😉
So I have a Blink Camera in my Cellar where the Printer is at. It has motion detection, so I thought: let's just turn the lights of the printer off at layer 1 and then on at a certain layer where I am about to change Material for double color prints.
To my enjoyment I can say it works and I get a notification from my camera when the lights go on, so I then rush to the Cellar, wait a bit before my Pause code runs and then push the Pause button on the Ultimaker.
Now my question: if I create such a creative solution, then why the ... can't you guys at Ultimaker just simply create a Pause at layer function? It is totally easy, just a custom M command to pause and done, I hope you guys will implement this, so I don't need my weird workarounds for functionality for an expensive printer that cheap printers already implemented a long time ago. Thanks 🙂
