I am seeing the NUT Network UPS Tools in the Apps.  However I cannot find a video to use it.  I am wondering how I am supposed to setup Unraid to work with my Eaton UPS system.

I have several Eaton’s, but I don’t use NUT. Their IPM software is great.

So, how would I get Unraid to do a soft-shutdown when UPS is almost out of power?

Googling seems to indicate that several folks have gotten the NUT plugin for Unraid to work with the Eaton UPS's.  I would install it and work with the interface (I have never used NUT) to see if you can get it to work with yours.  If you have problems, there is a support thread where you ask for assistance. 

 

I am assuming that you already have the Eaton unit.  The plugin is 'free' so you have nothing to lose by trying to get it to work.  I would not go out and purchase an Eaton when Cyberpower and APC are plug-and-play with the default plugin.

I will have a  look once I get this GUI connection drop dealt with.  Thank You. 

 

Yes.  I do have Eaton already

So I have IPM running on a VM on my Unraid server - what do I do with it to trigger an  Unraid shutdown. I basically want it to gracefully shutdown after about 5 minutes on UPS since if I am in a power outage, I don't care that much about media...

do you guys recommend any eaton/apc models to work with unraid?

I got an Eaton Ellipse Eco 1200 (1200VA/750W) to use with Unraid and it's detected out of the box when connected via USB. I'm using the built-in Unraid UPS menu in the WebUI, with apcupsd.

So far I have no complaints; Unraid says the battery should give me about 50 minutes of power (which is great) and unplugging the UPS from the outlet immediately triggers a Telegram and Email notification.

But you don't want to run that long on battery. You should set it up

or even less.

So apcupsd works (for you) with Eaton as well? Good to know... I'm currently researching what steps I have to take to make my Eaton Ellipse Pro work properly

I just ordered my Ellipse Pro, did you get it working with unRaid?

@xylcro, I activated the built-in apcuspd daemon and it detected my Eaton UPS directly. I guess there is some common protocol both APC and Eaton use? But I haven't tried yet if it actually works. Will do that once I'm back home
