### Basic Information: Printer Model: ender 3 v2 MCU / Printerboard:btt mini e3 v3 Host / SBC pi3b+ klippy.log [klippy (12).log](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/iSvX2UxjHQGDewyizXGXsrAW3Tv.log) (76.7 KB) _Fill out above information and_ **_in all cases attach your_ `klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_ _ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _ ### Describe your issue: … Ive been having a few power cuts locally that mess up my prints and worried about SD card in the sbc with the grid auto resetting ive got a small UPS coming for the printer and sbc and would like to trigger a shutdown of moonraker or the raspberry pi with for example a button/relay input when the battery gets low in the ups does anyone know how to do this or a better way of doin this ? thanks ---

sporadic most of the time its a few seconds to a minute but yesterday it was about 3 hours so hoping the ups will pick up the slack on the short ones and print continue as normal, but on the long ones it will run till say 50%, then shut everything down or just kill the printer and leave the rpi powered up ---

Moonraker offers many possibilities to do so. The question is, how does your UPS indicate a low battery condition for any services to react upon. For examples see: - [Configuration - Moonraker](https://moonraker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/#toggling-device-state-from-klipper) - [Configuration - Moonraker](https://moonraker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/#shelly-configuration) - not exhaustive. more options are existing ---
