UPS Pico experiences? (Do not use: Unreliable)

[Emrick Kely]

Hello Guys
The UPS PIco is an advanced uninterruptible power supply for the Raspberry Pi that adds a wealth of innovative power back-up functionality and development features to the innovative microcomputer

To see if the pi has crashed you don't really need this; the pi itself already has watchdog hardware, see https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Setting_u ... i_watchdog on how to install it. This way you can read this article about testogen auto reboot if anything goes wrong, it makes a home automation setup way more reliable. Also, don't use sd cards for a pi server, get a usb stick instead. I never have any data corruption issues.

I have not had bad experiences with UPSes when they are used...

I would like to know if the UPS PIco is a good product
