SKE 1500VA/900W UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector UPS Battery Backup Unit for Computer Router Modem Uninterruptible Power Supply

I was looking for a small and relatively cheap UPS that would interface with Home Assistant. This ticked all the boxes in terms of size and power.I have this connected this powering my Synology NAS DS218+, a 16 port TP link switch and a Gmtek G2 NUC running Home Assistant.Initially I connected the UPS to the NAS via the included USB cable and the Synology detect the NAS but always read the battery charge at 100%. Not ideal.So I connected the USB cable to the NUC running Home Assistant and added the Network UPS Tools add-on (not the integration, that comes later).In the devices part of the config for the add-on, I used:- name: myupsdriver: blazer_usbport: autoconfig:- vendorid = 0001- productid = 0000- desc = "MEC0003"- protocol = megatecOnce the NUTS server add-on is running, I added the NUTS client integration under Devices & Services to monitor the UPS and connected locally (tip the host is always a0d7b954-nut).Once running, HA can monitor the battery charge level, so I created an automation that monitors the charge level and when the UPS is on battery. If the battery charge drops below 60% I send a command to the Synology NAS to shutdown.I've run some tests and even running a NAS, 16 port switch and NUC, the SKE UPS was only at 8% load and easily ran for 30 minutes and still have 56%.You can mute the beep at the push of a button.Recommended if around £70 at the time of buying.

Good product and easy to set-up. perfect for keeping my Sky router and ONT running during power-cuts so I can use my landline.

Easy to wire up but the suggested software is only really appropriate if you are attaching a laptop or desktop. I am using it as backup power supply following change to digital voice for router, phone and fibre system.

We bought two UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protectors and installed them near our desktop computers to ensure they do not switch off when electricity goes off. They are easily set up, work very well, are quite silent, look good. We are very happy with the purchase and will buy again in the future.

The UPS itself works perfectly but the monitoring software requires a CDKEY which is supplied with the device but appears to be single install only. I've upgraded my PC and the new install tells me the CDKEY has been used. I've been completely been unable to get support so my only recourse is to leave a poor review.

The UPS seems to work OK, but the software that comes with it is antique at best. Not only this, but it does not work correctly as it will not display the battery information. I have followed the instructions and re-installed without success. Without the battery information it is not possible to set up the control correctly - other than an immediate shutdown.

I have it for the last 5moths and till now it was working fine

I bought this as was having kitchen redone and working from home needed to ensure continuity of wifi. The wifi hub didn't lose signal at any point during the mains being off
