Gharris999, that's quite a list of new features you have here; kudos for
your work.
I haven't tested the new version of the plugin yet, will do so soon.
(and update strings.txt as an aside)

As planned my own SB gear is now down to a single Duet, and SC running
in a VM on an always-on server... Until I revive another home server
project for friends or family I was thinking I may be could contribute
a bit to your plugin ?

These are areas I think interesting:
- An OS X power daemon. Runs as root aside SC, and accepts
SSL-verified connections from the plugin to return its current power
state assessment and to take reboot/shutdown/sleep actions. I have OS
X.5 and X.4, could install X.3 (I think), on 2 Intel-based macs.
(Perhaps this could be generalized to other platforms, to conceal all
nitty-gritty power management details, and provide a
platform-independant API -tcp- to the plugin.)
- Plugin settings web page redesign. With tabs and all; I already did
a few mock-ups. This needs some thinking and good understanding of
features dependencies in the plugin. I expect the HTML/TT/JS
implementation wouldn't be too difficult.
- Controller scheduled WOL applet. Starting from scratch, for me. 
- "pimp my playlist": testing a way to add -an internet?- WOL service
to an existing alarm playlist. Intriguing and should be fun, but I
don't see how this can be completely packaged with the plugin  if
someday it works.
- A power-saving agent that would integrate users behaviour to take
actions (AI). Seems possible; But if we want the agent to be smarter
than Clippy, someone knowledgeable in AI would better chime in...

I don't know how much time I could spend on one of these subjects; I'd
like to play it light on maintenance once stabilized. Let me know what
you think.
