Setting up a Synology server, I made the mistake of just buying a UPS that had a USB plug on the back thinking oh this is a solved problem, it must just work. No no far from it.
So the UPS I mistakenly purchased is not compatible with Synology. SRV1KI-E wants to run this weird program called PowerChute.
Anyone have success marrying this into the Synology ecosystem?
It also has a RS 232 serial port, I wonder if there’s an off-the-shelf device that would speak serial but output power state via the network or USB.
Oh the synology drive is a file system syncing utility, it provides local caching of a remote file system and then syncs the files back. It’s not the software that shuts down the computer

To run a service outside the user context, probably.
