I have HA running in OS mode on an Intel i3 PC. I have added the NUT Network UPS Tool plug-in to my HA but I am unsure wether or not I need to do more to ensure that the HA PC is automatically powered down when the UPS charge gets low?
The UPS is physically connected to a Synology NAS (NUT UPS Server). The HA machine is a NUT client.
Hi, did you figure this out? I’ve just installed NUT via the Add-Ons, configuring via the UI, there is an option to shutdown host, you need to toggle this ON, and when the add-on gets a shutdown it will shutdown your host (in my case my NUC, not sure if it will shut down your synology, I assume so).
It is worth switching to the YAML mode to check that the shutdown_host option is actually on (true) as there is a bug in the add-on where it appers to be on by default, but in YAML it was set to false. Just toggle off then back on and it sets it true.
