Hey, I'm running HAOS via Proxmox, I have a new UPS (APC) and not sure what the best setup is. I originally plugged it into the Proxmox host, and passed the USB device through to Home assistant and set up an automation from there. This will send a notification, shutdown my synology disks and then shutdown the HA VM.

The issue is that it doesn't shut down the proxmox server itself. If I make the UPS available to Proxmox itself, then the server will shutdown, but I don't get any metrics in home assistant and can't automate anything else. What's the easiest / best way of having HA trigger the Proxmox server to shutdown? Does the Proxmox integration itself provide any actions, or just sensors? Thanks

Install NUT on Proxmox, install the NUT client on all connected computers/VMs
