I can't be the first person who has thought of having a powerwall communicate using apcupsd, to get it to tell computers to shut down safely when grid power is unavailable. I'm no expert with apcupsd, I just found out about it last night, but it's a standard that allows UPS devices to communicate with computers, so that they can know if they need to shutdown safely before power loss. Of course a powerwall could power computers for a bit, but during the winter with low amounts of solar, if there was a power outage, I would prioritize power for my electric well pump (which enables flushing toilets) vs powering a server, and doing this automatically would be best.
I haven't found anything with google searches, does anything like this exist? Seems like a docker container could access the gateway and translate it to apcupsd maybe?
