Hi,
I just got my LinkStation a couple days ago and now I've been messing with the sleep option.
I noticed the "Wake up at" and "Begin sleep at" -fields are mislabeled (they should be the other way round at least what comes to the error message when setting them to their labels).
If I set the Wake up at to 07:00 and Begin sleep at to 01:00 (this means I want to make the HD sleep at nights) the website gives me an error "Sleep Time of Usage Window 1 is earlier than Awaken Time of Usage Window 1. Please set Sleep Time later than Awaken Time.", which of course isn't right compared to the labels given to the fields. Well, if I put the Wake up at to 01:00 and Begin sleep at to 07:00 it let's me save the settings.
Now I've set up a sleep timer with the times given above to monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday. I also have setup a second timer for saturday and sunday from 02:00 to 09:00 (when we stay up later and sleep longer ;) ).
Sadly these settings do not seem to work. I always turn off computers for night time, also PS3 so there's no chance of any computer or device communicating with the disk and result the disk not going to sleep because of that.
Any ideas? I'd like to save energy by putting the HD to sleep at nights, I know it's a small effort, but it's something :).
Also, what's the time for spindown ? I have it enabled.
The device is set for ON from the back panel (not AUTO).
Edit: Firmware version is 1.10
