Turn leds on/off on Synology DiskStation

Synology scheduled tasks

Usage

Go to Control Panel / Task Scheduler and add the content of these scripts as root scripts.

Leds

Codes have been taken from this article.

• turn-leds-off.sh: turns leds off
• turn-leds-on.sh: turn leds back on

Ex (this is how I use it): turn leds daily at 10PM, turn them back on at 6AM.

turn-leds-off.sh

#!/bin/sh

printf \\x36 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_POWER_OFF
printf \\x37 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_HD_OFF
printf \\x42 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_USB_OFF
printf \\x4B > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_10G_LAN_OFF
printf \\x50 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_MIRROR_OFF

turn-leds-on.sh

#!/bin/sh

printf \\x34 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_POWER_ON
printf \\x38 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_HD_GS
printf \\x40 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_USB_ON
printf \\x4A > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_10G_LAN_ON
printf \\x51 > /dev/ttyS1 # UART2_CMD_LED_MIRROR_GS

Function code working from Task scheduler script on the DSM or from SSH:

echo 0 >/dev/ttyS1 Power on echo 1 >/dev/ttyS1 Power off echo 2 >/dev/ttyS1 Short beep echo 3 >/dev/ttyS1 Long beep echo 4 >/dev/ttyS1 Power LED on echo 5 >/dev/ttyS1 Power LED flash echo 6 >/dev/ttyS1 Power LED off echo 7 >/dev/ttyS1 Status LED off echo 8 >/dev/ttyS1 Status LED on green echo 9 >/dev/ttyS1 Status LED flash green echo A >/dev/ttyS1 USBCopy LED flash echo B >/dev/ttyS1 USBCopy LED off echo C >/dev/ttyS1 Reset echo @ >/dev/ttyS1 USBCopy LED on echo : >/dev/ttyS1 Status LED on orange echo ; >/dev/ttyS1 Status LED flash orange

You can mix several code together.

echo 48 >/dev/ttyS1 Power LED on + Status LED on green

Most of them are obvious, but what exactly do code 0 and 1 do? Apparently they are not used to turn the NAS on and off and they don't seem to have any effect at all. (Tested on DS220+)
