Hello everyone, I'm a garbage guy who promoted my dad.
▼ Friends who are familiar with Grandpa know that Grandpa is a Nas player, And Dad's column "Wei Unicom Nas Unofficial Manual" and "Hand in Hand to Play With Nas" are in continuous updates, trying to bring you nanny-level tutorials to save the time consumed by small partners on tossing Nas. Small partners who are interested in playing NAS, picking up garbage, and wool pay attention to Daddy and don't get lost
Discussion of whether Nas needs 7*24 hours to boot
▼ Dad's home NAS is more, the current 7 * 24 hours to boot NAS has Azot AS5304T, QNAP TS-264C and Synology DS920+, each device inserted 1-2 pieces of 4T cool wolf, even if the three devices are dormant, there will be a total of at least 40W or so of power consumption, calculated down to consume one kilowatt-hour of electricity per day, according to 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity 0.5 yuan, a month of electricity costs of 15 yuan, a year of electricity cost of about 180 yuan.
So the question is, does our Nas really need to be 24 hours without shutting down?
▼ In terms of the application scenario of The Grandfather, the most important task is to store the material related to the article, before it was mainly pictures, and now there are occasional videos, mainly through Qsync to achieve multi-terminal synchronization. Of course, Dad's Nas also ran a lot of services, such as Jellyfin, FBE, Heidmall, Qbittorent, etc., but in fact, the weekday frequency is relatively low, the number of times a week to use basically a hand number of over, which triggered The Dad's thinking: Do our Nas really need to be 24 hours without shutting down?
Please post your thoughts in the comments section.
Dad's personal idea is that most home Nas do not need to be turned on 24 hours, only when they need to be used, but for PT download enthusiasts, or other specific situations of users can ignore.
The three schemes of Nas/PC remote power-on are naturally wake-upable
▼ Aisute NAS is currently the strongest (active) sleep NAS device used by the grandfather, the Nas whole machine in the hibernation power consumption is very low, can be NAS active sleep. Each mobile phone APP of the ADM system is set with nas wake button, through the APP in the List of Nas click the hour clock button can wake nas from hibernation, can also achieve remote power on in the shutdown state, from the hibernation state to the working state also only takes more than ten seconds.
▼ Aisute AS5304T is equipped with J4125 processor, with dual 2.5G network port level HDMI interface, belongs to the current mainstream NAS configuration, the system is also very interesting, it can be said that the [take doctrine] to the extreme, you can directly install Porer management docker, and even a lot of docker containers are collected in the App Center, deployment is very convenient.
WOL remote wake-up
▼ Whether it is QNAP or Synology, through its own management software can remotely wake up nas devices, but they all have a shackle: intelligent wake-up inside the LAN, which cannot be achieved in the case of extranet.
▼ In order to cope with this situation, basically the vast majority of soft routing systems are supporting WOL remote wake-up, the following figure is Openwrt's function of WOL wake-up, but the premise is that you have a public IP address or through other methods to access the router on the extranet, or it is difficult for many people. Not all users who play Nas will use soft routing, Xiaobai still needs to pay a little learning cost if you get started with soft routing, so how to make Nas remote wake-up cost, learning cost is lower, it involves another remote wake-up method.
The call starts
▼ I believe that most small partners should have a better understanding of the incoming call of the computer, but it is not excluded that some small partners do not know Ha. The simple expression of such a function is that once the computer equipment is plugged in, it will automatically turn on the computer. Nas can be simply understood as a computer for a specific purpose, so most X86Nas actually support self-initiation of incoming calls, taking QNAP Nas as an example, which is available in the power options. Before, there were also small partners in the group and my grandfather complained: "How does my Wei Unicom automatically start as soon as it is plugged in, is it bad?" "In fact, it is the caller that starts to be naughty~."
▼ Grandpa just moved, changed a relatively large house (rented, 囧), before the small house used in the plug row is not enough, but also by the way to find a smart plug - sunflower P2, can be remotely controlled on the extranet. It should be noted that controlling nas calls from the start only requires a remotely controllable smart plug-in.
The two ways to turn on callback are modified via the BIOS
Each computer, Nas to enter the BIOS keys may be different (F2, F10, Del, etc.), taking QNAP as an example, after connecting the keyboard, turn on the device and press F2 to enter the BIOS. Enter the Chipset tab, set "Restore AC Power Loss" to "Power On" to achieve automatic power on incoming calls, and Last state returns to the state before the power outage.
Modify the power options in Nas
For Nas, setting up call-up is simpler and doesn't require entering the BIOS. Take QNAP Nas as an example, enter the WEB management interface, the console system power supply recovery NAS automatic boot application, you can open the incoming call self-start, after testing in the WEB management interface changed the power options, the BIOS settings will be modified synchronously.
Unbox the sun
▼ Daddy's Nas is arranged together at the workbench in Daddy's home, usually connecting a notebook, a Nas and a testing and playing device (or garbage), so the three-hole plug is just right; there are a bunch of mobile phones on the hand that often need to be charged, so it also needs to be plugged in to USB charging.
Sunflower P2 adopts a black paper packaging box, the overall appearance design is simple and generous, and the front is printed with the sunflower logo and THE LOGO supported by WIFI and USB.
▼ The inside of the box is the insert body and the instruction manual, the appearance of the whole body of the black, I believe that many small partners of the insert used to use it from white to black, which is also the reason why I chose black insert. The three circumferences of the insertion row are 23 * 3 * 2.7, a glance looks slender and concise, the shell adopts v0-level flame retardant PC, according to the official publicity can do 750 ° C high temperature flame retardant, the material makes people feel at ease. The front panel has a matte design, and frequent insertion and removal of plugs is not easy to produce scratches, but it will leave a small mark.
▼ The side of the insert adopts a glossy design, relatively speaking, the side of the insert is generally not scratched by hard objects in use, and the design of the front panel is different to improve the appearance of the insert.
▼ There are four non-slip rubber pads at the bottom of the insert, and this detail is done in place to make the insert more stable on the desktop. A series of parameters of the plug are also reflected on the back: the maximum current is 10A, the maximum load is 2500W; the maximum output of the USB module single port is 5V2.1A, the total output is 15W, and the maximum output current is 3.1A, although it cannot provide fast charging, but it is enough to charge my old 8p and bracelet. The gap between the back panel and the middle frame of the dad is a little large, and it looks a little uncomfortable, hoping that the brand side will be more detailed in details.
▼ 3 sockets have a closed protective door, one day Xiaomi mi slept after the dad idle back and forth more than 300 times, incidentally carried out a unipolar insertion test, confirmed that the use of unipolar insertion can not be opened, which relatively improves the safety of the use of sockets, can avoid Xiaomi mi because of curiosity to insert metal foreign objects brought about by the potential risk. However, children are still advised to stay away from dangerous products such as plugs and power supplies.
The mating set has a solid power button, the space between the jacks is relatively abundant, and it is rare for one plug to occupy two positions. There is a status indicator next to each jack, which can be controlled individually through the mobile phone app (there is no physical control button).
Use the experience basics
As a smart insert, the app is inevitable, users can directly scan the code by using the two-dimensional code in the manual to download, you can also directly search for "Sunflower Remote Control Software" in the app store to download and install, users who are already using sunflower App can use it directly. Dad feels that products like this that do not have their own smart home ecology are best controlled through small programs, or access to smart home ecological platforms such as Mijia, otherwise it is not good for the user experience to use an insert and deliberately download an App.
Like the smart home devices on the market, due to communication protocols, plug-in WIFI only supports the 2.4G band, so you can pay attention to it when setting it.
After the device is added successfully, you can see the plug in the device list, after entering the plug, you can see that you can control the 3 jacks separately, the setting button in the upper right corner can change the state of the device, this plug also supports "power off memory", after the power off and then power on can choose to restore the state before the power off.
For each jack can be counted down and timed to open and close operations, the timing function can also be "repeat" setting, if it is placed in the office area, you can set the repeat opening time to Monday to Friday, or more convenient. Like Dad's rented house has air conditioning, can only use a small fan to dissipate heat, usually engage in a 1-hour countdown, let the fan automatically turn off, blow a night will inevitably cramp.
Unfortunately, the plug and socket does not support power statistics, and the power log intelligently sees the on and off of the plug.
Extension function
Sunflower is a remote control software independently developed by Oray, by installing sunflower software on the control end and the controlled end, it is easy to control the remote host, file transfer, remote monitoring and other operations, basically support most mainstream operating systems (Windows, Linux, MAC OS, iOS, Android, etc.), to achieve mobile device control of PC devices.
Daddy has an opinion
In general, sunflower's plug row obviously deals with PC usage scenarios and remote control scenarios, which is more suitable for Nas users who need remote operation and maintenance, or nas users like Grandpa. Dad consulted the smart plugs of other homes in Jingdong, all of which cannot be accessed to the smart home platform and cannot be controlled remotely, so it seems that Sunflower P2 is obviously slightly better than the competitors, and it is generally worth buying.
merit:
1, compared with other intelligent plug-ins that cannot be remotely controlled, the advantages are obvious, and remote switch operation can be realized;
2, each jack can be controlled separately;
3, the value of the line, with enough materials, safe and worry-free.
shortcoming:
1, there is no physical control switch, can only be controlled on the app side, for non-sunflower users, if there is a small program can control the intelligent insertion experience will be better;
2, there is no electricity statistics in the fly in the ointment;
3, some details still need to be refined, do not rule out the father to get this piece of cuttings on the back of the gap is not the same width is a case.
