I’m currently looking for low-hanging fruit solutions to improve the BBB’s reliability at the moment and came across this.
This open source project aims to provide a generic API to many off-the-shelf UPS systems, usually via a serial/usb/ether connection. I haven’t investigated this in depth yet, but it would appear that it gives you the software hooks to at least shut the bbb down when the mains go off, potentially monitoring battery levels down to a certain point first. There’s still be some external logic needed to do a full solution (as described in the rest of this thread), but it could be an interesting component of a system. http://networkupstools.org They seem to support loads of OTS devices. The debian metapackage name is ‘nut’ (for network ups tools), fwiw.
