314: Not receiving Power ON email alerts, but all others work fine
I've configured both of my ReadyNAS 314 (OS 6.6.1 and earlier) to send out email alerts via Gmail, and they have worked reliably. I get alerts for Power Off, Reboot, Backup status, Drive failure, etc.
The ONLY alert I have NOT been getting is when the NAS is powered ON. This has never worked, in fact, for any version prior to OS6 6.6.1. I have not yet upgraded to the latest OS6 (6.7, I believe).
I have a second NAS 314 that I keep powered off. When it gets turned on by an unauthorized person, I'd like to get alerted that somebody powered it on.
The logs do show the Power On event ("System: ReadyNASOS background service started"). Is anybody getting Power ON alerts? How would I enable it?

I've never gotten them either (and that is also the case with OS 6.7.1).
I agree it would be good to have this, especially in cases where WoL is enabled (or a power schedule for that matter). I suggest posting this on the idea exchange.
Thanks, Stephen. It's good to know I'm not the only one then, but it's also sad that there's no workaround for now :)
I'll re-post to the Idea Exchange.
