Gracefully Shutdown Controller on UPS low power

Recommended Posts

When power goes out, I want my controller and NVR to stay on as long as possible, however in the unlikely event that power is off and I get low on UPS run time, what's the best method to power down a Controller?  I understand how to see remaining runtime, I just need help finding the best action.  I don't see any actions in the programming tab for controller shutdown or restart (and I may just not be looking in the right spot)...

I'm assuming that a "graceful" shutdown is better than a non-graceful shutdown.  I have my controller connected to a Wattbox, so I can simply do the non-graceful shutdown if that's the preferred method and kill power to the outlet...

My master Berto Cloud driver gives the ability to execute system commands.

My systems are all UPS backed and in the event of a power cut I do gracefully shutdown the controller after X minutes depending on the runtime of the UPS.

I've only started to release my drivers for public use.

See https://github.com/davidmassot/Berto.

Thanks

David
