I’m looking to get a UPS for my home server. It runs Homeassistant, Plex, and a few other things. I mainly need something to protect from power flickers/blips, and for it to allow a proper shutdown for prolonged power outages.
Here is the power useage on all my devices:
Server: 350w
NAS: 90w
Router: 42w
Any info on what to look for or which model to buy would be greatly appreciated.
The question I have, why doesn’t anybody make a consumer grade UPS with a built in lifepo4 battery. I see lots of videos about how you can DIY one, but I would hate to destroy a fine battery.
