Laptop UPS Alerts (LUPSA)

This playbook sets up your laptop to monitor if it's on AC power or not. Alerts can be sent a variety of ways.

Is this for me?

If you answer yes to the following questions then it might be what you need:

1. Do you use a laptop in your homelab?
2. Does it have a battery?
3. Do you experience brownouts || blackouts?

How it works

Under the hood it checks the value of /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online:

If the value changes then an alert will be sent to the user.
