garym - thanks for the links - very interesting indeed !

In my first test I only set the alarm 5minutes ahead - too short to
test alarm-WOL-packages as it turns out.

So I tested again - I set an alarm for both my Boom and my Radio
20minutes ahead (good to have both devices :) ). Then turned off my
(7.4.1) SB-Server and tracked all network traffic for WOL packages.

10minutes before the scheduled alarm the Boom indeed sent 4 WOL
packages (all with a 10second delay). The Radio unfortunately stayed
'silent'.

So either I did a mistake when analysing the network traffic - or this
nice and very useful feature doesn't work for the Radio :(

As long as noone can contradict my observations it seems that you need
a 24/7 server (MySB.com or a local server) for the Radio alarms (or use
the srvpowerctl plugin in the hope that this one can convince a local
server to wake up right on time).
