Scheduled wake on LAN - disforw


#1

This is a 2 part setup, but very worth it for me. I created a custom Device Handler that has a virtual momentary button, and a on/off switch. Using this simple piston, will send a WOL packet to my NAS everyday at 3pm as long as the switch in the device handler is ON. I can also use the momentary button to manually wake the NAS up if I want. (The NAS is set to automatically shut itself down at 12:30am everyday)

just for kicks I also added a piston tile that keeps a life long count of how many times I push the button!

great example, thanks for sharing.

i use a virtual switch without any custom DH. the switch also tracks to the NAS on/off status, with a few minutes latency. if the NAS is off and i want it on, just click the tile or turn on the virtual switch either of which triggers the WOL. :slight_smile:
