Spot on I had this setup incorrectly. Now if I set it up as you explained above it works as I want. That is when "big" server is powered-off the SB3 display goes off. When the "big" server resumes it now shows the Weather screen saver (even though the SB3 is powered) but that is what I want because I know the server is now up. gharris999;411395 Wrote: > Anyway, tell me if I'm understanding this correctly: > > _On_\"big\"_server_shutdown/suspend/hibernation:_ > > Connect SB3 to "little" server (where it's configured to display the > WeatherTime screen saver?). Almost when the SB3 is connected to the "little" server it should be off and only come on when an emergency message needs to be sent from the HA. Is this going to be possible now I have just configured the SB3 option for off to be weather plugin? gharris999;411395 Wrote: > Connect SBB to SqueezeNetwork. > > _On_\"big\"_server_wakeup:_ > > Pull SB3 back from "low power" server and connect to "big" server. > > Pull SBB back from SN and connect to "big" server. That is my utopia solution yes. gharris999;411395 Wrote: > Have I got that right?

I remember a "bug" with SC whereby WOL packets would be sent to the MAC address of the original server setup with the SB3 even if the IP address later changed. I'm wondering if I / we can take advantage of this by having the MAC address set to the big server but the IP address set to the "low" power server until we switch it? gharris999;411395 Wrote: > If the "little" server stays on 24/7, we could just pick one of the > SrvrPowerCtrl actions on the "little" server (say, "hibernate") and > have the hibernate SrvrPowerCtrl command point to a script that WOLed > the "big" server, waited a bit and then switched the SB3 over from > "little" to "big".

For example press and hold 1 send SB from big to small while press and hold 2 sends SB from small to big? gharris999;411395 Wrote: > Is this the sort of thing you're getting at?
