SMS Power View [Docker]

Quick solution to run the "SMS Power View" Java app inside a docker container. Given your system exposes /dev/ttyUSB0 when plugging in a compatible UPS, it should straight up work. Just start the container - that's all.

---

Features

• Provides the official SMS Power View dashboard
• Provides a JSON endpoint to the system monitor - great for use in third-party software, such as Home Assistant, etc.
• Latest known version of SMS Power View
• Internal known-working database
• Keeps the host system free of dependencies thanks to Docker

How do I run it?

• Simply download this repo or clone it
• Copy .env.example to .env and put in your Serial port. If on Linux, it's likely /dev/ttyUSB0, on Windows COMx (x being a number). Leave blank for no connection.
• Execute: docker compose up --build -d.

In a few moments it should then come up at localhost:8080. By default, SMS Power View listens on port 8080 and the JSON Endpoint on port 5000. Feel free to re-route it via the .env file though. Use the .env.example as a reference.

Stopping the container is as easy as using docker compose down.

Protecting using a password

If you want to protect the SMS Power View interface with a password, you can do that. For that you'll need to also set the password in .env using the WEB_PASSWORD variable in order for JSON requests to authenticate correctly.

Starting over

As you might know, this application has a database, and with sufficiently wrong configurations you could get locked out. Therefore, to reset the state, just delete the db folder and restart the container, which will re-initialize the database to a known-good state.

Developing

If you're changing files in the project structure, you may need to rebuild the image. If that's the case, run:

docker-compose down
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d

This is NOT needed if you only change the .env file.

Which devices are compatible?

Most likely most of their (older) lineup should. I'm using a "SMS Power Sinus II".

Further compatible devices, as per documentation:

• New Station Expert
• Net 4+ Expert
• Power Vision NG
• Manager III Senoidal NG
• Power Sinus NG
• Atrium
• Atrium Rack
• Mirage
• Daker
• Sinus Triad NG
• Keor BR

Please open an Issue if there's any incorrect information.

Why don't you use nut instead?

I've tried, but unfortunately, no driver is compatible with my particular model. It could be reverse-engineered from Power View, but I hadn't had time for that.

'X' doesn't work! What gives?

This project wasn't actually tested on other machines. I just needed a quick way to spin this up without making my host system messy with Java and other dependencies, so I 'made it work' and shared it, so it could be useful for more people. Therefore, if you have any suggestions, please make a PR! I know, the code isn't the prettiest you've seen in your life, and it lacks stuff, but it works.
