External script from UPS to trigger Emergency EXIT

Voyager
1

Is it possible to have an external script trigger the Voyager Emergency Exit Event?

My UPS allows sending a .cmd file script before it triggers a shutdown (see attachment) in case of power outage. And it can do so based on a certain % of battery-time left.

Right now I have a relay connected to the UPS and Viking monitoring the status to trigger an Emergency Exit. But that does not take into account the available battery-life, so it’s guessing how long to wait before shutting things down (0s to be safe, 15m as ‘likely’, etc?).

The external script option in Dragscript and all other info in Wiki and forum assume the initial trigger to come from within Voyager.

Any suggestions welcome.

Ah, through the safety monitor. That should work indeed. I’ll pursue that option. Thanks Leo.
