SrvrPowerCtrl was never envisioned as a power manager for a
multi-purpose machine.  It's real target audience is headless servers.

Get yourself a Boom.  It already does this, and does it very well.  

There's been some vague talk of adding this functionality to the SB3's
firmware too.  The complication is that, while the Boom has a RTC (real
time clock) built into it's hardware, the SB2s/SB3s/Transporters do not.
That "vague talk" involved faking a RTC in the SB3 in the
firmware...but I would definitely NOT hold your breath waiting for this
to happen.

So, buy a Boom.  It'll be good for the economy.
