Configurable availability times for NAS systems to avoid daily Error Messages

[Gambit1976]

Describe the feature

Hi, I got a a little feature request:

Problem Description:
Many users operate NAS systems that are intentionally powered off during certain times of the day for energy efficiency or longevity reasons. Currently, Home Assistant continues to attempt connections during those offline periods, resulting in repetitive error messages and warnings — even though the unavailability is expected and intentional.

Proposed Solution:
Add a configuration option that allows users to define time windows when a device is expected to be available.
Outside those time windows, Home Assistant should not attempt connections or generate errors/warnings

Benefits:

• Only important Messages/Errors will be shown rather than the noise of an intentionally happening event.
• Reduces unnecessary log entries and connection attempts
• Improves energy efficiency
• Makes setups with scheduled device uptime smoother
• Enhances user experience for power-managed devices

Many thanks, for considering my request!

It's been 2 months .... Do you all run your NAS 24/7 or does really no-one have the same issue?

Please promote this feature request ;-)

I also have this issue. Unfortunately my raspberry pi is also forced to restart after x amount of time. I think the attempt to mount the NFS server cause a hard lock on the system and force it to panic.
