I figured it out. If anyone else hits this and needs help here is what I ended up doing. So AdvancedTomato as well as Tomato use APCUPSD to monitor the ups via the routers USB. -Make sure you enable USB 1.1 on the router so the router sees the UPS. -Then install APCUPSD on the computer you want to monitor the UPS from http://www.apcupsd.org -While installing, one of the steps will ask you if you wanna configure APCUPSD, do it -Use Tomato or AdvancedTomato's UPS Monitor page to get the Hostname. -Change the following to match in your config file so it can monitor the UPS on your router: -Note: change HOSTNAME to the hostname you got above. UPSCABLE ether UPSTYPE net DEVICE HOSTNAME:3551 UPSCLASS standalone UPSMODE disable -Complete setup and that should be all. Above worked for me on my Windows 10 computer. Haven't tested any others yet but I don't see why I shouldn't work.

Hello All, So here is my setup: - A Netgear R8000 router flashed with the current version of AdvancedTomato - I just purchased an APC Back-UPS 1080 VA (Model: BN1080G) - a Windows 10 computer - a Linux computer running Kubuntu 17.10 - I am going to be adding an UnRAID server in about a week What I am wanting to do is have my UPS connected to my router usb port so Tomato can monitor the UPS. Then have the systems that are plugged into the UPS (Windows 10 computer, Linux, UnRAID Server) monitor the UPS status via Tomato and complete a graceful shut down if the ups loses power after X amount of time or if the battery is critical. I have been able to get the UPS connected to my router via USB, and AdvancedTomato recognizes the UPS and displays the full status with all the data. But I have no clue where to go from here. I have done a lot of Googleing and I came across NUT (Network UPS Tools) but I have no clue how to use it. Where do I go from here? I assume UnRAID has a built in feature or a Docker to monitor a network UPS. So that will probably be easy to figure out. But what about the Windows system and the Linux system? Thank you in advanced for your help.
