Integrate your UPS into Home Assistant with NUT
In this video tutorial we will see how to integrate a USB UPS into Home Assistant using the NUT addon and thus be able to control the charging status of the UPS and send notifications when the power goes out.
NUT supports a ton of devices, so most devices should work.
Although in this tutorial I explain how to connect them via USB, NUT also allows network connection as indicated on its website.
