Shorter code that could be maintained more easy.
But no problem, I already forgot multithreading. :)

Actually my clients are interested in ups.status only.
And maybe battery.runtime.
They don't care with luxury things like input.voltage. :)

Eeeeer.... the situation is much more complex.
We have three machine rooms and two of them will be de-energized
artifically after a few minutes in order to preserve all
of remaining battery charge to the third server room.
This is where our supercomputer resides that needs quite long
time for a proper shutdown.
So hosts in the other two server rooms require several virtual UPSs
that set LB flag in status 1/3/5/7 minutes earlier than
a shunt trip breaker disconnect mains from physical UPSs.
