Relationship to the verified homebridge-ups: homebridge-ups (by @ebaauw) is HomeKit-centric — it exposes and controls the UPS inside Apple Home and keeps Eve-app history. homebridge-ups-monitor adds an observability & data-portability layer that lives outside Apple Home, which homebridge-ups does not provide:

• a standalone web dashboard reachable from any browser on the network (phone, tablet, desktop) — no Home app or Eve required;
• history charts (1h / 6h / 12h / 24h) backed by a server-side ring buffer;
• CSV / log export (24h and 30-day daily logs) for spreadsheets and long-term analysis;
• broad HomeKit tiles plus optional UPS controls (beeper toggle, low-battery threshold sync), making it a functional superset for in-Home use as well.

The two can run side by side; this plugin targets cross-platform monitoring and exportable history rather than competing as an Apple-Home bridge.

Start by reviewing the verification checklist in this issue and the linked homebridge-ups-monitor repository, including its releases, tests, CI, and relationship to homebridge-ups. Done means the plugin’s eligibility has been assessed and the verification request has a clear maintainer decision.
