+This script uses NUT and a few other libraries to communicate UPS status for servers.
+
+If the power goes out, it will send an email and a discord message with status and battery charge.
+If the power comes back, it will do the same.
+
+Once battery reaches critical level, it will automate shutting servers down.
+When the power comes back and the battery is charged, it will fire them up again.
