Just thought I’d share this “card” (collection of cards) which read data from the Network UPS Tools (NUT) integration. It’s nothing special but I made this because I could not find a card or collection of cards which provided a nice view of UPS info, hopefully this is a useful starting point for others wanting to make a UPS view. It should just work if you rename the device created by the NUT integration to ’ UPS ', this should rename the entities correctly.
Requires following components to be installed from HACS:
If you mean why i choose 50v as low and 86v high as thresholds on the bar graph, I just based it upon my guess that the batteries won’t ever go down to 50v ( my UPS uses 6x 12v 9Ah batteries), so i would allow a range of 9v to 14v per battery your UPS uses (assuming your UPS uses them in series). 9v is very low per battery voltage btw, i wouldn’t ever really expect it to be below 10v realistic.
I would recommend setting up the NUT addon and integration first with your UPS and seeing what voltage it produces then working out form that how many 12v batteries it uses.
First I have a bunch of template sensors defined in configuration.yaml to catch all the various status entities and pull out the various notices - e.g. OL, OB, RB, CHRG, etc. Not totally sure yet whether some of them are actually produced by my UPS, so that is work in progress still (e.g. not sure if my Eaton 5SX actually will generate a REPLBATT message through NUT, which would show as a status of ‘RB’), but I’ve defined most of the status options to be sure.
The last sensor, net_runtime, takes the remaining runtime and estimates how many minutes remain until the low battery trigger point will shut everything down - i.e. the actual minutes runtime left, not runtime to 0% which the UPS reports.

I also have this sensor defined so I can add the rack/UPS to the Energy dashboard.
sensor:
## Eaton UPS consumed power
- platform: integration
name: Rack Energy
source: sensor.eaton_5sx_power
unit_prefix: k
unique_id: 2452716747655
That also needs a “customize”:
homeassistant:
customize:
sensor.rack_energy:
last_reset: '1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00'
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
