Interesting stuff! Once I get NUT running properly I'll definitely look into Nagios!</div>

I use nagios (another OSS product) on another linux system (which could<br>
be a VPS or at your house) to check up on NUT installations of that<br>
nature, and warn me if they stop responding. I also have NUT run a<br>
script to send me an SMS message to notify me of power failures (and<br>
restoration). You generally need to sign up with a service (email me<br>
privately if you want to know which service I use) to send SMS messages<br>
via a web api. The going rate is about USD $.01 per SMS.<br>
<br>
If the rPi is too fragile, consider getting a small Intel desktop (which<br>
are not much more used than an rPi is new). The desktop uses more<br>
power, but still tiny compared to air conditioning.<br>
