    Hi, I just found this software/app when googling problems with my Synology NAS 1618+ with DSM 7.0.1-42218 Update 3. I am not able to make it hibernate or auto-turn off. The NAS is used for only one thing, to store ripped DVDs that I then play using KODI on an HTPC. I want the NAS to switch off (as long as that does not affect the present wake-on-LAN which works well) when I exit KODI or switch off the HTPC that KODI is running on. Can APM do this for me?

    Hi,
    There are multiple ways to shut down the NAS using APM, usually it's based on a timestamp + additional options (e.g. based on network traffic threshold), so you can probably use it for your needs.
    For example, when I want to stop my NAS after having watched something on my TV, I'm using the "ping" plugin which turns off the NAS only once my TV is off.
