integrate into other monitoring systems #2

I would like to monitor the Power Pi via OpenHab instead of node red. Could you provide some guidance on how monitoring of the Power Pi can be achieved so that it can be integrated into other systems like OpenHab?

The status of Power Pi is being published as UDP message on the port 127.0.0.1:40001 by ups.service.

The messages are JSON formatted as follows: { "BatteryPercentage": 87, "BatteryVoltage": 4.08, "ChargeCurrent": 0, "ChargeStatus": "Not Charging", "InputVoltage": 2.6, "PowerInputStatus": "Not Connected", "TimeRemaining": 76 }

thanks for the info - I will look into that. Maybe I can forward that port to something within a docker container that can then redirect it to openhab. I am thinking of building a small PowerPi to MQTT service.

Have you thought about integrating MQTT directly?

+1 for mqtt

If anybody is interested in testing/improving MQTT support - I added MQTT-Support in a PR. Please review/improve it.
