Interesting stuff! Once I get NUT running properly I'll definitely look into Nagios!

I use nagios (another OSS product) on another linux system (which could be a VPS or at your house) to check up on NUT installations of that nature, and warn me if they stop responding. I also have NUT run a script to send me an SMS message to notify me of power failures (and restoration). You generally need to sign up with a service (email me privately if you want to know which service I use) to send SMS messages via a web api. The going rate is about USD $.01 per SMS. If the rPi is too fragile, consider getting a small Intel desktop (which are not much more used than an rPi is new). The desktop uses more power, but still tiny compared to air conditioning. -- Stuart D.
