Get mail/sms alert when ups on (raspberry pi?)?
Hi,
I wonder if there are solutions to monitor my ups (basic apc 350). I d like to get an email or sms whenever ups is activated/used and when its not used anymore.
Are there budget solutions for it or simple ways to configure via raspberry pi?
Pls advise.

Thanks but I m not looking for a Windows solution or Linux. I m looking for a device which can monitor idependably, like a raspberry pi.
Sorry, I misunderstood. I'm afraid that this is beyond my scope of knowledge.

Your script is for sending sms-s via mail. Thanks but don't need that.
Thank you.
As far as I recall, these devices come with software called PowerChute that can send email alerts.
You might find this article helpful if you don't have the software or are configuring email alerting from a Linux server:
