Keenetic Peak and APC Back-UPS ES700

[Chezzie]

Please help me configure the OPKG to allow the router (KN-2170) gracefully shutdown by a signal from from UPS on the power outage.

I have APC Back-UPS ES 700.

Already installed all necessary OPKG packages but I have trouble configuring it.

Spent a day trying to find information. (I am a developer so I will easily understand every suggestion.)

Anybody here have such experience, ready configuration files? Pleeeease share.

The main suggestion here is the router has no ACPI subsystem (has no PC-like suspend mode), so you may only reboot the device by a signal or (at least) unmount storages.

Thanks!

Oh my. The evidently best function is impossible

Anyway I'd like to have everything what is possible from such connection, maybe monitor status.

I have PowerChute app on my laptop and it shows the APC status very well, wanna to move such functionality to router, configure some actions on events.

Obviously, a UPS is not the best solution for a router, since the router does not know how to manage it. I recommend you to look at special UPS for routers.

Great idea! I didn't know about that.

The only question how do these 2 devices understand each together. Do you know the name of protocol(s) the both devices support?
