Hi,

I want to buy, for my home server, one of those "smart" UPS
(uninterruptible power supply, aka "no-break") that connects to the
computer via USB and asks the system to gracefully shut itself down
on a power outage when its battery gets low.

Have you used any of those devices on OpenBSD?
Can you share your experience with it?

My requirements are:
- Must (obviously) work on OpenBSD either on a base system or with
  sysutils/apcupsd (or any other port).
- Must gracefully shut OpenBSD down on power outage.
- Small scale/low cost.  I do not want to back up a racked server or
  anything big...  My home server is just a repurposed laptop with
  broken screen and no battery that's connected on AC 24/7.
- I do not care about battery capacity.  Being able to shutdown the
  system on a power outage is more important than keeping it powered
  for a long time.
- Optionally, can be monitored via sensorsd.  That's not actually
  essential, tho.  But is good to have.

Thanks.
