ok, so super-simple it looks like.

As the documentation is bad, how are you setting HA to shutdown based on battery/power state, if you dont mind me asking?

arctic light Dec 30, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

I don't actually shut it down because it's on a Pi and could probably last a few days on battery. shutdown_host: "true" should shut it down though

#

does it do that based on a specific timer event?
The docs on the HA doc site are really bad on this, i think when i've worked out the specifics im gonna go do a PR on their Git Repo to get it updated.

Option: shutdown_host

When this option is set to true on a UPS shutdown command, the host system will be shutdown. When set to false only the add-on will be stopped. This is to allow testing without impact to the system.

Sounds like NUT fires off its notification to the clients and then shuts down the host machine

#

ok, so im guessing then that something in the ups.conf is what sets when to fire off those notifications/events.

#

thanks btw!

#

That reminds me I should probably test pulling the plug. The daemon is running and the clients have a connection, but I haven't actually tried a power failure yet

#

clients being remote systems?

#

I ask as thats my plan, RPi/HA being the control NUT, and a few proxmox hosts being clients...

arctic light Dec 30, 2022, 9:14 PM

#

Yeah I have 2 machines running VMs in the same closet and they're connected as clients

#

Do you have to do much config on them other than point them at your RPi?
Or do they have the ability to have their own 'shutdown at X' settings?

#

You have to set it to netclient in upsmon.conf and then point nut.conf to the NUT server, MONITOR myups@192.168.x.x 1 username password slave

#

According to nut.conf, the master shuts down all the clients, then shuts itself down last (presumably if you've set shutdown_host to true)

#

yup, right now i have. Im gonna change the config about to remove those extra bits i have, so it more closely matches yours i think

#

If it's communicating properly, both sides should mention in their logs that they connected

#

for now, im going out for the afternoon. Later!
