Is there anyway to install UPS software on LibreELEC

1st Official Post

    Please Help

    Does anyone know if it is possible to install UPS monitoring software on LibreELEC .. the purpose is so that I can control shutdown of LibreELEC & my modem & router during blackouts

    You already created a forum thread previously. Why is this one necessary?

    LibreELEC and modem/routers are low impact devices. The chances of damage during a power outage is quite low.

    Your NAS is a different story. Synology should have software and support for certain UPS models.

    The last forum thread got done in..

    Da Flex Closed the thread .8 hours I don't see any relation to LE. If your fear power outages, then better ask one of those prepper boards.go

    It's not a damage issue for LibreELEC or modem/routers

    what I'm worried about, is that if the modem/routers are off during a power outage so is my local area network

    that will cut all communication between all my PC's & my NAS's, (2x synology, 1x Qnap & 1x unraid) as well as LibreELEC/modem/routers

    So when a power outage etc happens only 1x synology will properly shutdown

    it will lose contact with the other 3 and they will have power cut off to them & possible damage when the UPS turns off after it's battery is low

    An extra UPS, configured with monitoring software into LibreELEC would solve my problem

    the modem/routers would stay on long enough for all the NAS's to properly shutdown/turn off

    You know that add-ons are the usual way

    I could not find any in this forum or google .. that's why I started a new thread

    I bought a Cyberpower UPS

    ended up putting my old DS214play in the lounge to monitors things as it already had all the UPS setting I needed

    set up is: after 15 minutes shut down LibreELEC and DS214play followed by the UPS itself along with the modem & the router

    .. when power comes back on the UPS along the modem & the router only turn on

    With only the modem & the router on I could get up to 90 minutes during a power outage, though as stated earlier this is

    to co-ordinate the mainframe shutdown in the office


    Da Flex you had me thinking
