# APC Monitoring on Raspberry Pi with Prowl

A few scrips I use to monitor the status of my APC Back-UPS RS1000G with a Raspberry Pi. I use [Prowl](https://www.prowlapp.com/) to send notifications to my phone to alert me of changes

## Setup

 

Ensure Python is installed on your Raspberry Pi. Setup `apcupsd` on your Raspberry Pi [following these instructions](http://www.anites.com/2013/09/monitoring-ups.html). 

Clone and install `prowlpy` to use on your system

```

$ git clone https://github.com/jacobb/prowlpy

$ cd prowlpy

$ sudo python setup.py install

```

Clone and install `rpi_prowl_apcupsd` on your Pi

```

$ git clone https://github.com/ZachOrr/rpi_prowl_apcupsd.git

$ cd rpi_prowl_apcupsd

$ sudo python install.py

```

Modify `apcupsd.service` to setup environment variables with your Prowl API key

```

$ sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/apcupsd.service

[Unit]

Description=UPS power management daemon

Documentation=man:apcupsd(8)

[Service]

Environment='PROWL_API={YOUR_KEY_HERE}'

ExecStartPre=/lib/apcupsd/prestart

ExecStart=/sbin/apcupsd -f /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf

Type=forking

KillMode=process

PIDFile=/var/run/apcupsd.pid

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

```

Reload `systemctl` and restart `apcupsd.service`

```

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

$ sudo systemctl restart apcupsd.service

```
