People ask me about my power monitoring setup all the time, so I thought I’d make a video about how I do it!
I wrote a blog post with all the information and my ApexCharts card code, so you can copy and paste it if you like:

BUT, isnt the nas connected to a ups?
It perplexes me why none of these products use latching relays to avoid the loss of power on firmware update. My best guess is the companies making them don’t want to associate with equipment that needs to remain on all the time, plus price is always a factor
Thanks for putting this out, it’s nice to see recommendations for individual smart products that you use.
Would be cool to see some more products that you personally use / recommend if you have any!

Are there any that are weatherproof for outside outlets?
