Hi All,

Apologies if this is in the wrong community.

I’m looking to get a UPS for my home server. It runs Homeassistant, Plex, and a few other things. I mainly need something to protect from power flickers/blips, and for it to allow a proper shutdown for prolonged power outages.

Here is the power useage on all my devices:

  • Server: 350w
  • NAS: 90w
  • Router: 42w

Any info on what to look for or which model to buy would be greatly appreciated.

    I would say the UPS tier list is:

    1. Eaton
    2. APC
    3. CyberPower

    I highly recommend you watch this video by Lawrence Systems. It’s long, but worth the watch.

    PSA about CyberPower. Your mileage my vary.

    Also, some APC software now requires a license (not sure if this is home or business). You can use NUT as an alternative.
