I’ve got a HP EliteDesk 800 G5 with Core i7 CPU and 32 GB RAM. How do you guys handle load shedding situations? I have a mini UPS for the router and ONU, and a 650V one for the mini PC. I don’t think it will give me more than 20 minutes backup. Should I gracefully shutdown after 10-15 minutes when electricity is gone and automatically boot up when electricity is back?

    @CameronDev Unfortuanately, I didn’t think about this before buying the UPS. IT doesn’t support such features. Maybe I could get a device that can report power outage over the network and take actions accordingly.

      Bummer. You could get a cheap IoT light bulb/smart plug and ping it in a script, when it times out, start the shutdown. Could be a fun project.

        At that point just use home assistant to trigger a shutdown script once a device goes offline for x amount of minutes.
