SKE 1500VA/900W UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector UPS Battery Backup Unit for Computer Router Modem Uninterruptible Power Supply

This solved an issue with my TV keep switching off, due to mains power having too much flux from the grid. Tried different Tvs too. Gives a nice clean consistent power output and TV and alexa cube plays nicely. Sony TV 60" and cube lasted about 45 minutes on UPS batt test too playing a movie. Which wasnt the intended purpose in my case but nice to have. Guess I can charge my phone off it if thres a power cut or plug in a light etc when needed in a pinch. Or move it to my router so I can still wfh for a bit with laptop on batteries. Three sparkies and UK Power networks cant find a problem on electrics. House fully certified as safe.

I was looking for a small and relatively cheap UPS that would interface with Home Assistant. This ticked all the boxes in terms of size and power.I have this connected this powering my Synology NAS DS218+, a 16 port TP link switch and a Gmtek G2 NUC running Home Assistant.Initially I connected the UPS to the NAS via the included USB cable and the Synology detect the NAS but always read the battery charge at 100%. Not ideal.So I connected the USB cable to the NUC running Home Assistant and added the Network UPS Tools add-on (not the integration, that comes later).In the devices part of the config for the add-on, I used:- name: myupsdriver: blazer_usbport: autoconfig:- vendorid = 0001- productid = 0000- desc = "MEC0003"- protocol = megatecOnce the NUTS server add-on is running, I added the NUTS client integration under Devices & Services to monitor the UPS and connected locally (tip the host is always a0d7b954-nut).Once running, HA can monitor the battery charge level, so I created an automation that monitors the charge level and when the UPS is on battery. If the battery charge drops below 60% I send a command to the Synology NAS to shutdown.I've run some tests and even running a NAS, 16 port switch and NUC, the SKE UPS was only at 8% load and easily ran for 30 minutes and still have 56%.You can mute the beep at the push of a button.Recommended if around £70 at the time of buying.

Here's my help for you and my honest review.The software linked in the manual is out of date and lacks functions.Instead go the softwares main site megatec.com.tw and download the latest software for UPSilon2000. Note down your registeration details for later as if you reinstall you'll need them. (Software key found in the top of unit)I'm using this unit as a backup for my home lab and gaming rig, sole purpose is not to keep going but enable a safe and controlled shutdown without corruption. It works like a dream, albeit after sorting out that software issue.I'm using windows 11 and my system would only allow partial control of the system without finding the right app.

Good product and easy to set-up. perfect for keeping my Sky router and ONT running during power-cuts so I can use my landline.

The UPS itself works perfectly but the monitoring software requires a CDKEY which is supplied with the device but appears to be single install only. I've upgraded my PC and the new install tells me the CDKEY has been used. I've been completely been unable to get support so my only recourse is to leave a poor review.

The UPS seems to work OK, but the software that comes with it is antique at best. Not only this, but it does not work correctly as it will not display the battery information. I have followed the instructions and re-installed without success. Without the battery information it is not possible to set up the control correctly - other than an immediate shutdown.

I have it for the last 5moths and till now it was working fine

Great little UPS, perfect for keeping my router, Nas and switch powered on, I have regular power drop offs so this is ideal, has worked flawlessly so far!
