#NetworkUPSTools

I'm automating stuff at the family farm using #homeassistant ; lights, smoke alarms, stove fire preventers, heaters.

It's inspiring to see so many iot devices support #ZigBee but also infuriating that 50% of the ones I've encountered has something fucky with their zigbee implementation. It's also somewhat concerning that the mains-connected zb router devices I've found will drop off immediately when the power goes out. The thought of not getting alerts about a fire in the barn if the power's out, concerns me.

I've got my eye on #matter , but I can't find compatible smoke alarms in Norway (so I can be confident they comply with local regulations, and return them if they're bad), and only limited reviews of ones available from abroad.

I see there's matteralpha.com/category/smoke and community.home-assistant.io/t/ but idk.

Can anyone recommend a mains-powered zigbee router device with a built-in battery, that'll keep it routing for at least 1 hour if it loses power?

Alternatively, a small (max 20*10*10cm) #ups that'll power a zb router or other tiny device for 1 hour? #NUT #networkUpsTools compatibility is a big plus

Anyone have any ideas why I can't get NUT running on my Debian install?

upsc fails with "Connection refused," and when I check the status of nut-server, it has also failed with "getaddrinfo: Name or service not known"

EDIT: Never mind. I just plugged it directly into my Home Assistant host and ran the NUT integration. Works like a champ.
Home Assistant FTW!

Sur #HomeAssistant, j'ai le module #NetworkUPSTools qui me demande un login/pass, mais impossible de me souvenir ce que j'avais paramétré à la base. Une idée pour me dépanner ?
