</ul>Description:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; LightsOut as a nice power management AddIn with a calender and client presence monitoring function. Main features are:<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Scheduled wakeup and power down (shut-Down/Sleep/Hibernate) of the WHS</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Automatic wake-up (via client software/WOL) and stay awake in case an approved client is present</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Shutdown / Start-Up services during before/at end of power down periods (e.g. TV-Service )</li>
</ul>A documentation is available on the Web-Site (see Ref1)A forum member wrote a handy <a href="http://forum.home-server-blog.de/viewtopic.php?f=38&amp;t=4974&amp;start=0" target="_blank">script</a> running in the background and updating the task scheduler for wake-up in time of a programmed record by regularly checking the SQL server TV-record database.I would like to express my thanks to him as the script is rather powerful, providing not only TV record schedule, but also further features, like process monitoring (more to come).Hi Larry, keep up the good work!If I am not mistaken, he is also available in the German MP forum&nbsp; <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-erweiterungen-178/progr-aufnahmen-whs-lightsout-kalender-uebertragen-51231/#post350223" target="_blank">WHS Script</a>, but it seems like the script is only maintaned in (Ref2) with the newest features.Installation<ul>

It is purely handled via the scheduler, waking up the WHS at scheduled event (in time for the recording) and keeping him awake for the duration of the recordingStandby/Hibernate is initiated by the LO conditions (e.g. 10min without LO client available)There are some other conditions in the script to keep the WHS awake, like for specified IP addresses present (means some other computer), if a specific task is run (e.g. start of internet explorer), etc. - but thats another story.</blockquote>
