2 alarms just a few mins apart. Great idea. Messy but it should address
any WOL problems. Although it looks like my NAS doesn't go to sleep -
just hard disk hibernate. Could be the wifi (separate Unifi device)
sleeping I suppose but I can't see how to change that. The other poster
suggested a 10 min advance WOL, but I don't see anything in the LMS logs
for that and can't find out how to detect it on my Synology NAS.
