Hi All So I'm looking into some sort of way to do some basic power monitoring for remote sites (Metropolitan area, +-10km2). Simple things like, is the incoming 220V still there, or is a UPS still putting out it's 220V and if the monitoring device allows, what's the voltage level of the UPS battery. Ideally the monitoring device should have it's own battery so as to be able to report outages and connectivity would have to be GPRS or LoraWan (although I have not experience with this so not sure of coverage etc.). I've done some basic searches into IoT devices but seems they mostly focus on temp and such, so would really appreciate a nudge in the right direction here Thanks, R

Thanks TaliaB, cracking them open seems to be the only way then 👍

So theoretically yes but technically no. Does that device perform any sort of test? So considering two wrongs don't make a right or two left turns makes a U-turn or whatever, could one theoretically test the battery capacity via the UPS output? Like would there be a discernible drop/pattern on the AC side vs the DC side voltage drop? Etc etc.

Hi All Is there something like a plug-in tester to test a whole bunch of 1KVA UPSs, instead of "cracking" each one open and doing a load test on the battery? Thanks, R
