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.

So… I use a physical passkey as a second factor on top of username and password on all three of my Synology-boxes. I have TOTP as backup in case I should lose my passkey.

Anyways - synology has no clue about my phone number, so I’m not sure I agree with your sentiment that it’s a requirement.

The synology.com account, not the NAS account
