Show printer Status via RGB Strip
I installed a basic adressable rgb led strip in my rr long ago but just used it only kina as a flashlight via macro (off most of the time)
My thought was showing the printer status like blinking red for error, orange for calibrating/homing, white when printing (and maybe even changing the color with the print percentage). Any hints how to tackle this? I haven't really found a solution other than to add them to the print start macro or something. But isn't the print status something that can be called?

2.1 Installation stuck at ratos-configurator
After failing to get 2.0.2 running I was advised to try 2.1 but ran into some problems. I followed the Installation instructions with the latest RC2 image. Connected via Ethernet I did the ratos update and I am getting stuck on the ratos-configurator showing "###### Updating npm and pnpm..." for an hour now.

"Must home Axis first" When trying to home after fresh 2.0.2 Install
Just updated to a fresh install of 2.0.2, made all the updates and did not have any errors in Mainsail anymore.
I verified all end stops work and axis move correctly with "SET_CENTER_KINEMATIC_POSITION", the BL-Touch failed homing (my fault: triggered at a different height by me) and I tried rehoming all axis. But whenever I try to rehome all Axis I get the error "Must home axis first: 0.000 0.000 15.000 [0.000]". Happens also after a restart.
I also added my old printer.cfg which I migrated some settings from.
EDIT: When I send a "SET_CENTER_KINEMATIC_POSITION" command first, the homing works afterwards until I disable all motors or restart.

Temperature for mesh and z-offset
Since I still somehow have strange problems with my first layers being off randomly I wanted to ask at what temp the bed and z-offset should be done.
So far I do both at roomtemp which seems wrong, but doing them at higher temps gives me even worse first layers.
I don't do a mesh before each print but manually from time to time since the mesh takes forever at the start of every print.
When the print is started:
1. Homing all axia at roomtemp
2. Bed heating and preheating extruder to 150°
3. Bed Mesh (which I don't do) and z-Tilt at bed printingtemp (I can't figure out why the z-tilt is done here, can't find the command anywhere in the start macros)
From this I should do the mesh at print temp, but after the z-tilt it verifies the z-height again and probably does overwrite the first z-homing, therefore everything should be done at printing temperature.
Maybe someone can explain that procedure to me
