missing, etc). The SmartUPS will still deliver power 
to Pi, if connected to mains, but won't operate as 
UPS.

Button Clicks

You can 
configure 
Rapsberry Pi to 
execute a 
command on  specific number of button clicks. For example, if you 
want to take a picture with your PiCamera you can configure 
appropriate command in upspanel for a number of button clicks (up to 
three). Any time you simultaneoulsy click for that set number, you 
will take a picture.

1 Click

Start the output power if turned off/ User 
defined command from upspanel.

2 Clicks

 User defined command from upspanel.

3 Clicks

 User defined command from upspanel.

Hold (for about 2 seconds) LED starts blinking fast Green,indicating 

shutdown approaching in 50 seconds. (at this 
point SmartUPS issues a shutdown command 
to Pi).

Hold longer (about 6 
seconds)

LED turns solid Red, and as soon as you let go 
the button it shuts down power to Pi.

Startup and Shutdown Options

The startup and shutdown 
options can be configured by 
the upspanel GUI or by 
changing the SmartUPS.cfg 
file found in /etc/SmartUPS 
on your Raspberry Pi. 

**Configured options will only 
work if the I2C cable is 
connected.

**Start up options are designed for automated operation. When 
SmartUPS is manually shutdown (by pressing and holding the button 
until it power's off), upon power restotation to SmartUPS, you will 
have to press the button to power up your Pi.
