Nut-ups

Next Steps

You should now be able run the upsc command against the name added in /etc/nut/ups.conf to gather all status information about your UPS (e.g. with the example from this wiki page: upsc SmartUPS_1000). One can also gather specific status information by passing them as an argument (e.g. upsc SmartUPS_1000 battery.charge). This is useful to monitor specific values and/or initiate actions (e.g. from a script) when specific thresholds are reached.

NUT itself can also be configured to do useful things like send an email or initiate a graceful shutdown when the main power is lost. The NUT home page is your source for documentation on how to do this.

There is also a NUT integration for Home Assistant that can be installed to keep tabs on your UPS.
