Very Happy - One Small Bug

I'm amazed that great apps like this exist at such a low price on the AppStore. This App is exactly what I needed to have a APC Smart UPS connected to my Synology NAS be able to shutdown all of the Macs on my network when my house looses power. Essentially, the Synology acts as a hub being connected by USB directly to the UPS. The Synology then sends all of the information around the network to all computers connected. This app makes all of the UPS data, which is surprisingly detailed avaialble in the menu bar of Mac OS. There is a small utility you have to install that allows the app to shutdown the computer in the event of power loss. It took 10 minutes to download the app and get everything set up, and it works flawlessly on multiple macs on my LAN.The bug i just noticed is that when the UPS is at 99%, it sometimes alternates between a charging state (trickle charge) and not charging. When ever the state of the UPS changes, it fires a notification on the mac. Which means that you get a constant barage of notifications saying the UPS is charging. There should be a threshold that the user can set that makes the app only show one notification if the charge level is in the range of a defined percentage and above. Dev please fix this and your app will be perfect. Well Done!

Although the instructions assume you know an IP from a BASH command, if you have a NAS, you should probably already know this stuff. Installation is reasonable and sure beats some of the alternatives. This software properlly shut down my iMac using commands from my NAS. It then monitored battery status, letting me know battery capacity with a cute battery indicator in the Menu Bar. Tech support answered in a couple of hours. Excellent.

Works perfectly on M4 Mac Mini (Sequoia 15.4)

The app was easy to set up and is surprisingly simple and intuitive. It does exactly what I need. I have it monitoring the status of an APC Back-UPS 1500 (connected by USB to an Unraid server running the Network UPS Tools plugin) and set to power off the Mini and other devices when the battery runs low. Amazing!

OMG thanks for fixing the crash - I specifiically ran into it (Looking at the trace, it looked like something related to Swift UI elements or something). Anyways, I'm very happy that you continue to support your app - this is specifically why I pay money for apps - to support app developers
