Advanced Power Manager for Synology NAS Reviews

Excellent software. Its nice, its free, it works. What else can i wish?

An Excellent piece of Software. I had just about given up trying to software reboot my DS916+. It used to work and then stopped after a DSM upgrade. Then trying to find a solution I saw this Power Management Software. I wasn't very hopeful but to my delight it works perfectly.

Excuse for my English. I have DS-115j + DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 1. Your app will be very very useful. Power off works OK. But power on doesn't work at all. Please, Could you help me ?? Thanks Manuel

Hi, I tied to use Advanced Power Manager for Synology software on my Synology DS214Play and it correctly making power off but then scheduled power on function doesn't work. Can you help me please to solve this issue ? Synology support answered that I have to use a script that I don't have, DS214Play does not support power on/off schedule in symbology firmware I can use either script and scheduler in sinology firmware (but I don't have scripts) or Advanced Power Manager for Synology software ...

A very useful software, with all the features I need. I had precise needs and this software gives to me exactly what I expected. I'm on a Synology DS216+ by the way. Thank you very much ! ps: sorry for my english, I'm french

great work

Works great with my DS 1813+, DSM 5.0-4493 Update 5. Thanks for your hard work so far

Extremely flexible and powerful, great way to reduce power consumption and help the environment. Great work.

I can't understand a Synology NAS without this program

Thanks to Renaud, now (Version 3.0-4) it's working!!!! Very fast, friendly and uncomplicated support! Greetings J.Sommer Attention!!!!! Please do not install the latest version on your device if DSM latest version is on your Synology Box!!!!! - Two DiskStations DS212+ - on both DSM 4.3-3827 installed - on both Advanced Power Manager 3.0-2 installed On both the same effects! a.) Power Manager Window is complete white! No text, no buttons, no textboxes, simply white. b.) At the same time the CPU remains at 100 % utilization!!! c.) There is a process with name httpd shown in processlist wich causes this high CPU utilization. d.) The good thing: It seems that the settings from the previous version of Advanced Power Manager are still working! Please provide a bug fix. Greetings J.Sommmer

Do NOT install latest version on Beta DSM v5 Just trashed my voilume!

with DSM 4.2 you need to install synology Perl package

advpowermgr4ds, great work!

Awesome product, thanks for sharing!

It simply works!

Really nice project! Thanks for your job!

Works nicely! Gracias!

Great tool for conditional shutdown. It allows you to shut down the NAS at, let's say 22h. But you can set it to check for a certain amount of network or disk activity. For instance if you stream a video off you NAS every once in a while. You don't want the NAS to power down half-way during a romantic movie, a sure fired way to spoil any chances of more exciting things happening during the rest of the evening. So at that time, it shuts down once the video ends. That way, you don't have to adjust your schedule to the latest time that you think you will watch a movie. In my scenario this saves me an additional 4h of uptime each day.

very powerful tool for the work on schedule, works quickly and without errors!

This is great. I don't understand why Synology does not have it in its firmwares.

This is how the native power schedule should have been! There's room for improvement on the GUI, but the functiontionality is great, that's what counts the most.

Works great on the DS-209, thanks Renaud!

I have tested 1.0c over some days now including the hybernation function and it all works great on my DS410. Thank you Renaud for your hard work! The only request that I have left is layout. Someone also mentioned it on your sourceforge page. A change of font family eg Arial would be nice and also you could maybe integrate it as all the other ajax type tabs in the synology manager to make it look more integrated. Also in IE if I change from expert to simple (and back) the wrong section is grayed out (eg if i change from expert to simple via the radiobutton, the simple mode stays grayed out instead of the expert mode). Dito for the Hybernation function. It is not grayed out when the checkbox is unchecked. Thanks again for all your work.
