Looking to purchase UPS (lemmy.world)

Hi All,

Apologies if this is in the wrong community.

I'm looking to get a UPS for my home server. It runs Homeassistant, Plex, and a few other things. I mainly need something to protect from power flickers/blips, and for it to allow a proper shutdown for prolonged power outages.

Here is the power useage on all my devices:

Server: 350w
NAS: 90w
Router: 42w

Any info on what to look for or which model to buy would be greatly appreciated.

The two biggest things to look for other than capacity:

Line interactive versus standby. If you have a lot of over and under voltage events line-interactive is preferred. Standby will only kick in when power actually cuts.
Pure sine wave. I think power supplies are better about this now, but for some time PC power supplies only really worked on pure sine wave UPSs.

I bought the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD in 2015 and its been rock solid. I replaced the batteries for the first time last year.
