I found that RTC wakeup did work to wake from suspend, but I also had a number of issues with it which I can't really remember right now. My solution was to utilize a "Magic Packet" ping from my Raspberry Pi. That seems to "just work" so far. This allows me to wake up the system at night once a month for "Smart" tests and "MD" checks. Obviously you need another system running to use this method, so it won't work for everybody. I added the Pi long ago as a way to keep a 24/7 system running that does not take much power.
I have an Android app that can supposedly do that, so I might try it. I think you have to enable the magic packet in UEFI if I'm not mistaken.
Since that is generally over WiFi I was curious. Yup, using "LanDroid" I was able to wake my system. As to the UEFI point, I am pretty sure I had to enable this via the bios. I have a UEFI system that is set to use "Legacy BIOS" mode.
I use UEFI mode and don't want to change it. I'm pretty sure the UEFI settings have toggles for WOL but I'll need to check. The Android app I have is called WolOn and includes a scheduler, but I'll take a look at LanDroid to compare.
I also enabled the "Magic" check box for the Network Manager config for my Ethernet port.
Not sure what that is. I don't see any such box.
