synology-diskstation

Node module for turning on and off a Synology DiskStation. Tested with a DS214play but is expected to work with all DiskStations.

Installation

Install using npm install --save git+ssh://git@github.com/simonbs/synology-diskstation.git

Usage

Create an instance of Synology by passing the IP address and port of your DiskStation as arguments.

var synology = new Synology('192.168.1.1', 5000)

Turn on

The DiskStation can be turned on by sending a Wake on Lan request. The MAC address of the DiskStation is required in order to send a WOL request. The MAC address can be found in the DS finder iOS application and the DS finder Android application.

synology.wol('00:11:22:AA:BB:CC', function(err) {
  console.log(err)
})

Shutdown

You must be authorized with the DiskStation in order to shut it down. Pass your account name and password as arguments. On a successfull login, you'll obtain a sid, which is used to shutdown the DiskStation.

synology.login('myaccountname', 'mypassword', function(err, sid) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
    return
  }
  synology.shutdown(sid, function(err) {
    console.log(err)
  })
})

Checking if the DiskStation Is On

Invoke the isOn function to check if the DiskStation is turned on.

synology.isOn(function(err, isOn) {
  console.log(isOn)
})
