Which smart plugs with power monitoring & UPSes are great for working together during power outages & power restoration?
I have been building an unRAID media server and when it goes live I want to do my best to make sure the server never has power cut while booted. Basically, if there's a power outage, I want my UPS to tell my unRAID server to shut down at a certain point. When power is restored, I don't want the server to boot up until power has been live for x number of minutes.
I know I can get unRAID to communicate with the UPS and shutdown at a given time, and I know there are smart plugs that can monitor power and wait to turn on until after certain criteria are met. I just would like to know which smart plugs can do this and which are preferred. I currently have a Cyberpower 1500VA true sine wave CST1500SUC but open to using another.
I have some Shelly relays and smart switches in my home but also have a number of TAPO smart plugs and camera too. I just want something that works and isn't a hassle.
Anyone got any recommendations for smart plugs and a UPS? Thx
