I live in the 3rd world and have UPS' hooked up to every part of my house. I'd love to have my APC Backups Pro hooked into my Pi3 and let it warn me that i'm low on battery .. and maybe through a setting, decide to shutdown (hdmi-cec) the pi, tv + avr eg. 5 mins before it runs out of juice.

There are *many* RPI, UPS solutions available for a *cost* - some work, some don't - most require additional programs to be installed which alas cannot be installed on LE as it's a R/O system.

It all depends on how the UPS signals the Pi to shut-down. If it's toggling GPIO pins or communicating via the network there's a dozen ways to do things and LE has all the Python libs that you'd likely want to use packaged into an addon.
