PC Control on Master Controlled Outlets (Back-UPS Pro

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-29

Hello,

Is it possible to control "controlled outlet" with a program running in computer?

So even if computer is running (on Master outlet), when screen come on stand-bye mode, we could shutting down the "controlled outlets".

If you want to control outlets from a Linux system you will need a Smart-UPS model UPS not a Back-UPS. look at the SMT product line.

With a Smart-UPS you can either use PowerChute Business Edition (depending on the version of Linux) or add a Network Management card to the UPS. With either PCBE or the NMC you can control / configure the outlets.

You can use PowerChute Personal Edition to configure the controlled outlets. Select Energy Management tab. The help file explains the settings.

Hello Bill.

This is only if my computer go to stand-bye (sleep) mode. But not only the screen.

Imagine this case:

The computer is a server (24/7). When I'm away from the keyboard, it could shutting down the screens and other peripheral. Even if computer use 100% of power.

PS: I'm on Linux...
