PwrPanelGUI

CyberPower PowerPanel Linux - (Gui)

This project provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to monitor the status of a CyberPower uninterruptible power supply (UPS) using the PowerPanel Linux software. The GUI is built with Python's tkinter library, offering a user-friendly way to retrieve and display UPS statistics, which are otherwise accessible only via terminal commands.

Example

Note

This project was to get back into the swings of python and linux. Its a very basic python script and currently redundant as the information is pulled from the terminal. If you like Gui, well here you go. End goal is to introduce similar functionality to the windows version with GUI configurable settings, etc. This DOES NOT alter the original source of PowerPanel Linux.
