Auto power up
Auto power up
I would just like to know if it is possible to auto power up the system at specified time of the day?
Auto power up: LAN activity?
Would it be possible to power up the Bubba in response to LAN activity?

Since the hard disk is the main power consumer in Bubba (> 90%), the smart way to do it would be just to spin the disk down, and have it spin up again on request.
Read more about how to do that for instance here.
As comparison: My home desktop computer uses about 16W when turned off (!), for instance waiting for a wake-on-lan event. Bubba uses about 10W when running, and would probably use less than 1W when the disk has spun down. Going below that 1W seems a bit overkill..
