Problems connecting external storage

Largus72 · February 15, 2026, 8:24am

Hi,

I use a NAS as external storage for backups.
Everything works fine.
However, I recently set the NAS to go into sleep mode at night to save energy.

It’s only logical that Home Assistant then sends me a message that the connection to the network storage has failed.

Does anyone know a solution to disable this message, which is understandable, at certain times?

Looks like nobody has fixed that bug yet …

### Describe the issue you are experiencing I'm sharing a folder from my Window…s computer over the network for Home Assistant to put backup files in. Sometimes this computer goes offline (rebooting after installing a program or Windows Update). Then there's the 'Network storage device failed' notification in Home Assistant's settings menu by Home Assistant Supervisor. The problam is, when the connection repairs itself, there is no way to get rid of the notification(s). 'Remove' removes the network drive and 'Reload' fails and tells me to check the logs. In the logs I find the moment it lost connection but no new log entries from pressing the 'Reload' button or when the connection resumed again. <img width="1236" height="1037" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5b1769aa-2261-4f74-a695-9671faf86522" /> <img width="1256" height="1434" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e7ee595-d7a9-468a-b661-bad1c123ea67" /> ### What type of installation are you running?
