I have two x728 in my panel so this is interesting. Maybe this should be renamed to geekwormups and we can add support for both? or maybe just 'ups' and we can combine various ups into a single configurable plugin? I'm even thinking we could incorporate an auto shutdown feature into the plugin so we do not need to install any external software to have that feature. It is nice to just switch off the avionics master switch and watch the PIs shutdown cleanly. Over the last couple weeks I have been working to improve this project to include automated code testing and coverage reports using github actions, switched to pyqt6 and using pyproject.toml not requirements.txt. Could you adjust this so it does not have merge conflicts and add some tests? |

I'll see what I can do. The various UPS modules could be grouped together but the code should be in separate files or modules as the communication method varies. On the hindsight, I would not recommend strom-pi to anyone, the firmware is buggy and implementing support is difficult. This X728 is much better, only downside is that it can't readily accept +12v voltage without down converter. |
This UPS board is much preferred over Strom-pi. Not only Strom-pi has pretty braindead interface, it does not provide enough power for RPi 5 to reliable transition from external power to battery
