Show HN: Multi UPS SNMP based shutdown

Automatic updates? Node.js? Why would one want to use this over the tried-and-tested Network UPS Tools that already ships with most Linux distributions?

Have you used these tools? Your main option is NUT, and it's not a great product. It crashes, it can't tolerate one of the UPSes being down, etc.

For my homelab, I ended up connecting my UPS via a USB cable to a Synology NAS and adding automation to shut down the rest of the servers to it.

I hadn’t realized this about NUT. I just started using it as part of TrueNAS’ built-in UPS monitoring support and haven’t had any issues thus far, but this gives me pause.

I buy that there is room for an alternative tool regardless of how crashy NUT is, but the technology choices for this are a huge turn-off IMO.
