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.

> Synology NAS

That's still NUT, just an older version with limited configurability through the DSM UI.
