 KW> I have a homelab with an APC BackUPS 1500 XM, a Synology NAS running DSM 
 KW> 6.2, and a Proxmox server. My desktop Windows 10 PC is plugged into a 
 KW> smaller UPS.
<CUT>
 KW> If the power goes out, the synology shuts down, and I can either hit Proxmox on the web interface, ssh into it and shut it
 KW> down, or hit the power button. If it runs down the battery, it goes into sleep mode.
<CUT>
 KW> I'm wondering if there's a way to have either the Proxmox system or the Synology system connected to the UPS and shut down
 KW> the other one?

exact same ups i have.. and very similar setup except i have 4 servers all on the same ups

run the UPS usb port into the proxmox host and run N.U.T (networked ups thing). then run a nut client on the other machines.

when the thing goes into battery it signals the proxmox machine to shutdown and because the other machines are connected to the nut server on the proxmox machine they shut down too.
