A lightweight agent-based tool that installs on each device in a home lab and connects to a central coordinator monitoring the UPS. When battery hits configurable thresholds, it orchestrates ordered shutdowns—VMs and containers first, then NAS, then network gear—and handles safe restart sequencing when power returns. A simple web dashboard shows real-time power draw, estimated runtime, and shutdown status for every connected device.

The home lab and self-hosting community is exploding, with affordable mini PCs and Proxmox clusters becoming mainstream. As setups grow from a single NAS to multi-node clusters, the gap between consumer UPS capabilities and actual orchestration needs is widening rapidly.
