Homebridge-nut

NPM Version

NUT (Network UPS Tools) Plugin for Homebridge leveraging node-nut.

This plugin allows you to monitor your UPS's with HomeKit and Siri via a NUT Client.

Installation

  1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
  2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-nut
  3. Update your configuration file like the example below.
  4. Ensure you have a NUT Client running somewhere. For assistance - http://wynandbooysen.com/raspberry-pi-ups-server-using-nut.html.

This plugin will create a ContactSensor element with BatteryService for each USB returned from your NUT Client.

  • ContactSensorState will show OPEN if UPS Status starts with OB (On Battery).
  • StatusActive will be true if UPS Load is > 0.
  • StatusFault will be true is NUT is not reachable.
  • BatteryLevel will show the BatteryCharge percent.
  • ChargingState will show Charging, Not Charging (Online and 100%), or Not Chargable (On Battery).
  • StatusLowBattery will be true if low_batt_threshold is breached. This can potentially notify you prior to your Nut shutting down its server(s).
  • Input/Output/Battery Voltage & BatteryLoad will be shown if available, otherwise may show 0 or default values.
