Achieving long standby battery life is primarily a function of allowing all devices, plus the core silicon or System on a Chip (SoC), to enter a very low-power idle state. (The Modern Standby PC uses any available network connection-Wi-Fi, mobile broadband (MBB)/cellular, or wired Ethernet.) And the Modern Standby PC, connected or not, also has very long battery life in its screen-off state, just like a cell phone.Įnabling the Modern Standby user experience requires all of the devices and software in the Modern Standby PC to actively and correctly participate in system power management. However, a PC in Modern Standby remains on and connected to the Internet, just as the cell phone remains connected to the cellular network. Similarly, when a PC is in Modern Standby, it looks and feels off-the screen is blanked, the system has no visible LED indicators, and there is no acoustic noise. The phone remains asleep until the user presses the power button again, or a phone call, email, or instant message is received. When users finish using their phones, they press the system power button and the cell phone enters sleep mode. The Modern Standby user experience is designed to model that of a cellular phone. Overview of Modern Standby user experience for wake System integrators should use this information to ensure that their hardware platforms, firmware, and software can configure wake sources to achieve the required behavior. It also explains which wake events should turn the screen on and which wake events should allow the screen to stay turned off. This topic describes the types of wake sources that must be able to wake the processor. Screw that, I am an engineer and I need to tinker our my own solution NOW.A PC that supports the Modern Standby power model must be capable of waking from standby in response to certain events, even if the platform has entered a very low-power idle state. Instead you get a bunch of Mac "fanboys" asking you to submit Customer Support tickets with Apple and to actually wait for a solution. Make sure you acknowledge me if you share this or decide to paraphrase my solution, because I checked Google and no one has talked about TRULY trying to resolve this. Now Belkin WEMO sales will spike up and then watch Mac sales go up if an S5 WOL "hack" is found or corrected, hahaha. Once this is found then you should be able to do S5 Power On with a Mac in either Windows or OSX. Windows seems to do this un/properly because it will power ON after you shut down the WEMO so now research needs to be done to figure out what the difference is between the Windows / Mac option. I checked and it seems that if you shutdown properly, that MAC OSX will not power back ON when you turn ON the power, so that means there is some "dirty" bit being set ON/OFF during shutdown. How to get Mac OSX to power on from an S5 state and guess what? IT DOES NOT WORK using the Belkin WEMO. Now there is still ONE outstanding problem. So this solves the S5 Power Problem for Bootcamp Windows on probably ANY Mac, since the Belkin WEMO will cut power and this will trigger the Power ON option. VIOLA!!! Now, I can turn on my Windows 8.1 Mac Mini from work and connect remotely using RDP or any other Remote Control application I set up. After everything installed, then make sure you go to "Boot Camp Control Panel" and under the Power tab, you set it to "Restart Automatically After a Power Failure". I installed Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp and all the regular stuff which you can look up elsewhere, but make sure you install the latest Bootcamp software/drivers. This is not required though and you can always just turn OFF, then ON when you want to wake your Mac Mini through the App. So that just ensures that my WEMO will ALWAYS be off when I go to my phone during the day. I programmed mine to turn OFF every morning at 7:00 am because I am NEVER up at that ungodly hour and I never stay up until that ungodly hour. I basically bought the Belkin WEMO Insight Switch, which allows you to turn ON/OFF the power remotely. So I won't bother documenting the S4 solution, unless someone REALLY wants to know but I got the S5 state working by "cheating", hahaha. Anyway.įurthermore, I got it to work now from an S5 state. Still, my search started here, so I will share my solution with you guys and let you enjoy the WOL goodness. I was only going to throw up a YouTube video or on a personal blog, because I checked and NO ONE has documented this solution. Dude, you did not share any solutions, but instead "suggested" what I might have done although I am not greedy and I came back to share my findings.
