NUT Sensor

The nut sensor platform allows you to monitor a UPS (battery backup) by using data from a NUT (Network UPS Tools) server.

To use this sensor platform, you need to add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: nut
    resources:
      - ups.load
      - ups.realpower.nominal
      - input.voltage
      - battery.runtime

Configuration variables:

name (Optional): Name prefix for defined sensors. Defaults to ‘NUT UPS’.
host (Optional): The host name or address of the device that is running NUT. Defaults to localhost.
port (Optional): The port number. Defaults to 3493.
alias (Optional): Name of the ups on the NUT server. Will default to the first UPS name listed.
username (Optional): Username to login to the NUT server. Default is none.
password (Optional): Password to login to the NUT server. Default is none.
resources array (Required): Contains all entries to display.
