Windows NUT GUI

NUT client for Windows written in C#/WPF.

Features

• Shutdown or suspend on low battery/low runtime
• Change Windows power profile when on battery
• Notifications for shutdown, suspend, on battery, on line, and low battery
• Pushover notifications

Installation

wnut.exe is a standalone portable application. Installation simply moves the EXE to %APPDATA%\Programs\wnut.

A scheduled task can be created once it has been installed so the UPS can be monitored as soon as a user logs in.

Required NUT Fields

ups.status
device.model
battery.charge and/or battery.runtime

If battery.charge is not present then only shutdown/suspend on runtime will be supported. If both are present then what comes first will trigger a shutdown/suspend action.

Power Plan

To have the application switch to a custom power plan, use the following command to find the power plan GUID.

powercfg /list

Startup Parameters

• --create-task
