You could also go about trying to find the cheapest "Smart" UPS that has a web interface. TrippLite has 1KVa units for about $1k that would definitely do the job.

You could also look into cheaper desktop-type UPSes, something like this has a web interface and allow remote outlet shutoff. https://www.amazon.com/APC-BG500-Back-UPS-Pro-500/dp/B00DW2J7SY

You need a 12v battery coupled with an inverter, or a UPS.

You'll want to check the wattage on your device - that UPS can handle 300 watts. You're looking at several hundred bucks whichever way you go.

Some UPS can send and email under certain circumstances (i.e. power outage).

EXAMPLE

I have not tested this one, just the first example I could find.

> (Remember, you are the guy who compared a UPS to the Note 7 which has a lithium battery, and is not even close to being in the same situation?)

The way a battery functions is through a chemical reaction, which both a lithium ion battery and a lead acid are based on (lithum ion happens to be a bit more efficient) and both have similar risks. Also there is UPSes that use lithium ion batteries.


> If I have a rack full of UPS's, its the same risk

yes it is a similar risk see this


> I did not ask for your advice, because I already know that its perfectly safe to do this.

I'm just pointing out the risks to you, your family, and your property. I can see you are convinced and are going to do this regardless of the risks and recommendations...
