valix Posted March 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2020 Hi there, I ask myself if it wouldn't be great if the power schedule would work to boot and shutdown the NAS at a certain time. Shutdown works so far without any change for me at all my NAS but what about booting? Of course I could set a wakeup-timer in the BIOS but it is no very dynamic and has often poor possibilities and since the NAS is running headless I wouldn't always attach and detach a monitor and keyboard to change the BIOS settings - very annoying. Does anybody have a clue how to setup a working startup timer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted March 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2020 Have you tried the "obvious" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valix Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Of course I did. As I wrote it works perfectly for shutdown but not for startup. And I tested this with all my current and former Xpenology NAS (AMD Kabini, Intel Haswell, Intel Skylake, Intel Ivy Bridge, AMD Carizzo platforms). It never worked for startup. I give you one task: Set a shutdown time and 30 minutes later a startup time and please let me know if it worked for you.

And the answer to the second question is N54L and 6.1.7. And the answer to the next question is "Don't Know." DSM has to write the startup date to BIOS and the BIOS must be set to allow wakeup on timer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valix Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) This are my test settings for DSM And the device shut down as usual correctly as planned, but even as usual nothing happend at 18:12 - no start up. This are the power settings in BIOS: I could set a wake up date in BIOS but it couldn't be controlled from DSM GUI. DSM 6.2.2 on Biostar A10N-8800. But I hat the same experience with my HPE Microserver Gen8 and a Fujitsu D3417-B1 Board. Edited March 19, 2020 by valix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netizen1 Posted March 19, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 19, 2020 Try enabling the setting just above "PME Wake up from S5" and/or "USB Device Wakeup from S3/S4" Either setting should work, or both... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valix Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted April 6, 2020 I tested the Power Plan on the HP Powerserver Gen 8 I also have. It worked in a restricted way. It cannot determine between the week days, each day is today for booting up, setting up to boot e.g. only on saturdays results in a boot every day. I assume an issue I have to live with - and I lived with it since 2015 or 2014. A nice to have, but on the other hand, Xpenology is no comercial product.
