I have set up a Synology server at a remote site which is accessible via HA.
I would like to have a single button that manages the turning on and shutdown.
Due to the way the network is configured, the Synology integration does not work to turn the server on. However, I have managed to turn it on remotely using IPMI.
Conversely, the IPMI integration cannot be used to turn it off, however the Synology integration does.
For now, I have two buttons: one that calls the IPMI entity to turn the server on and another that calls the Synology entity to turn the server off. The IPMI button also tracks the power state (it’s orange when on and dark when off).
Do you think it’s possible to have both the turn on and turn off via a single button and have that button light up when on?
Ideally, a confirmation box when clicking / tapping on the button would be ideal (especially for turning off), and I found a request for this but not sure if it’s available yet.
Any suggestions how best to achieve this?
