Hi All,

Apologies if this is in the wrong community.

I'm looking to get a UPS for my home server. It runs Homeassistant, Plex, and a few other things. I mainly need something to protect from power flickers/blips, and for it to allow a proper shutdown for prolonged power outages.

Here is the power useage on all my devices:

  • Server: 350w
  • NAS: 90w
  • Router: 42w

Any info on what to look for or which model to buy would be greatly appreciated.

We use some UPSs at work for backup power at different data centers. We have a mix of APC and Eaton models.

Can’t speak to the electrical capabilities, but APC is so much easier to monitor and programmatically control because they follow the UPS RFC.

Eaton has all custom SNMP endpoints and custom REST APIs. If you just want something to setup and forget I guess it doesn’t matter, but I something to be aware of if you were planning on some automation
