I think anything that can run apcupsd can be networked easily to the

sounds like a pain in the ....

I'm controlling three UPS units here with nut. I have done for years. It
just works.

Setting it up is a bit involved but not hard. There's a good README. And
once done, it's done.

Assuming you have used APCUPSD Bob, how does NUT compare? Does it just
work similarly or does it come at the problem from a different
direction?
