Will harddisks goto sleep when using Domotics on Synology NAS?

Post by Groeneman »

I have Domoticz running on my Synology NAS.
It is used to control some switches and to monitor the temperature.
The temperature sensor is sending an update every minute, this is logged by Domiticz software.
Normally the harddisks will go to sleep when it is not used for some time.
What is happening with the harddisks when Domoticz s running, will the logging keep the harddisk on?

Probably they will stay on.
Besides some power consumption I don't think that's a problem. Continues running is better than spin-up every 5 minutes.

I'm using my synology as well and turn it off in the nights. Maybe that's an idea? Domoticz is running fine after start-up ;) I'm shutting it down between 0:00 and 06:00. Or are you using Energy meters or something? That will cause a gap offcourse.

Must be that you don't have a lot in it then.
As soon as you use it for automatic lights, thermometers or heating you can't just powerdown.

I've setup domoticz for my kaku switches (2x), my blinds (4x) and my philips hue (3x). But no recording from cams / meters, so in the night no switch has to be made ;)

That is a bad idea, domoticz is designed to run 24x7. Your temperature graphs will be incomplete.

What i said, i'm not using these graphs / meters. If you're using this, you should keep it 24/7 on offcourse ;)
