Modern UPS monitoring tool

NUT.Net

A .Net client library for communicating with Network UPS Tools servers.

What is NUT

Network UPS Tools is a project dedicated to supporting power devices, such as uninterruptible power supplies. The software is built to control and monitor many features of power devices and provides a common protocol for communicating to other devices across a network.

What this project does

Inspired by the WINNut client, this project intends to create a compliant and efficient .Net library that can be used by any .Net application to communicate with, retrieve data from and send commands to a NUT server managing one or more UPSs. This project is written using the .Net Standard Framework, version 2.0.

Current Features

• Most of the NUT protocol, including
  • GET commands to retrieve information from the server
  • LIST commands for listing information from a server or UPS
  • SET VAR command, to change a variable on a UPS
  • INSTCMD to run a command on a UPS
  • USERNAME and PASSWORD to run commands and retrieve information that are privileged
  • LOGIN and LOGOUT to indicate dependency on a UPS
  • VER and NETVER to retrieve basic information from the NUT server
• Logical data model that represents a connection to a NUT server, and each UPS on the server along with its properties
• Error handling as they're returned from the server
• Created alongside a mockup server with unit testing to achieve accurate results

Is this project dead?

At this point you announced you were starting this over a year ago with no commits or progress updates. Is this still being worked on?

Core Plan

• Will be written for .NET MAUI, with C# and XAML
  • Cross-platform, native apps
• Can maintain a history of datapoints collected from a UPS
• Structured in such a way that multiple NUT servers can be monitored at once, with multiple UPSes attached to each
• Actions system where user can specify actions to take when certain conditions are met
  • Default actions available where supported, e.g hibernate or shutdown a system, run commands, notify, etc.
