What is UPS Monitoring?

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) are vital components in high-availability systems, but they're only as reliable as their battery backup. While monitoring a single UPS might be manageable, overseeing multiple UPS systems manually and checking battery health, voltage, humidity, and other parameters across facilities can be overwhelming. IoT-enabling your UPS systems eases much of this burden by eliminating the need to be physically present at each location to understand what your UPS systems are experiencing. Disruptions to critical operations due to something as minor as battery weakness can be costly. By deploying a solution like Zoho IoT, you can remotely monitor and configure your UPS systems, build predictive alerts, and receive real-time notifications, all to keep your assets running smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

How do we get started with Zoho IoT UPS Monitoring solution?

 
Contact our team with your requirements — from onboarding to choosing compatible UPS systems, protocols, or sensors, we’ve got you covered.Once set up, you can start monitoring battery health, setting alerts, and accessing real-time dashboards on the Zoho IoT platform.

How does UPS monitoring use IoT?

 
IoT enables a UPS to communicate real-time data like battery status, voltage, load, and temperature to a cloud platform.With sensors and connectivity, the UPS can send alerts, support remote diagnostics, and enable predictive maintenance.

Can I monitor UPS battery life with Zoho IoT UPS monitoring solution?

 
Yes, Zoho IoT lets you monitor battery life, charge levels, temperature, and overall health in real time to prevent unexpected failures.

Do you need a cloud management portal to monitor your UPS systems?

 
You can monitor your UPS battery locally via SNMP protocol or on-site dashboards, but you will be missing out on cloud-level benefits like centralized monitoring, real-time alerts, remote configuration, and more.

How do you monitor your UPS systems?

 
You can monitor UPS systems using IoT sensors, or protocols like Modbus to track battery health, load, and power status, all through a centralized cloud dashboard like Zoho IoT.
