I tamed the beast, please find it attached. I think the routine is bug-free now. I will start from that code for my own power management needs. Yes, the ability to wake-up is totally platform-dependent, I have struggled to get to a reliable platform, able to sleep, reboot, shutdown, and wake-up on WOL or RTC alarm from sleep or soft-off states. So trying to focus on a specific platform is probably a good idea in order to reach to a minimum level of repeatability, and an SB platform seems a natural choice. Besides, if an SB could do what you suggest, I guess I would try programming my server's RTC *and* have the SB spit out WOL packets. I do have a Duet, and fortunately I also have an SB Classic. My dumb SBR apparently still doesn't know how to send a WOL packet, while my dumber SBC, which is paired in bridge mode to the SBR, sends spurious WOL packets to the SBR !! (not even to the server...) My own server will never be on a wifi net, it is in fact a slice of the "office" server. The home server project I've been working on for a while is for my parents. The SB players will probably be wireless, but an SBC is out of the question for them. I'll start with 1 SB Classic, and will probably add a Boom to the mix if it sticks. To summarize, I think hosting processing on the SBC is a real good idea; but I am not certain I am your customer, at least right now. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: getalarms_pl.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5962| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
