This worked fine until a lightning strike wrecked havoc. It fried the CyberPower UPS, the Internet Antenna and router connected to it, the 12v UPS, and the APEX Lite motherboard connected to it. The APC UPS and stuff connected to it survived.
It was an expensive list of items that needed to be replaced so I prioritized. I ended up getting an Apex Jr., new internet antenna, and new router, but skipped replacing the 2 dead UPSs at the time. I plan on replacing the UPS on the router, but just haven't gotten around to it. I am not sure what to do about a UPS for the Apex Jr. It can't take a 12v UPS like my old one, so that means I would be powering all 4 of its outlets with the UPS as well. I could probably go 2 routes to make it work without draining the UPS in a hurry:
A) make sure items plugged into the Apex Jr are low power draw items
B) Add some code to monitor the EB8 and turn off the Apex Jr outlets if the EB8 loses power
Regardless, I would be purchasing 2 new UPSs, when all I really want is a line of code that delays the net startup LOL.
