UPS Power Status

Hi!!

I run UPS systems to support my Kodi boxes and I'm wondering what a good means could be to monitor their charge level on a power outage. Normally I do it using apcaccess/apcupsd, but clearly that's not a viable/universal alternative.

Maybe NUT, but that'd also require installing software and isn't exactly a universal solution.

Thoughts?

You're right, it's on X86 (64-bit).

I know I could rig something up with apcupsd, but it would only work for APC units. NUT might also work, but then I'm not sure if it's available on Mac or Windows. Let alone if this is something that might be accepted into addition to the base LE package.

I do know that there's "upower" which can be used to abstract out the implementation. Since that bit is cross-platform(ish), I thought there might perhaps already be a solution in place. Then again, I'm not sure if upower relies on components that aren't already part of LE, and thus would require additional dependencies to be pulled in. I'm also not sure if it'd be cross-platform enough to be considered.

Cheers.
