Read full description

Advanced UPS monitoring for self-hosted environments. Requires a backend server (NUT or Volteec Backend). Volteec is a private, read-only UPS status viewer for iPhone and iPad, designed for homelab and self-hosted setups. Connect the app to your own monitoring backend to see: • UPS status (Online / On Battery / Offline) • Battery percentage and runtime (when available) • Load and voltage details (when available) • Real-time updates Optional push alerts are available via Relay for critical status changes. Note: Push alerts require your monitoring server to be reachable from the internet over HTTPS. If the server is offline or only accessible locally, notifications won’t be delivered. No Volteec account is required by default. The app does not collect personal data.
