<-- Great! - that's very interesting.  Among the FAQ's for that product, 
someone does reference the need to push a button.  I have a RAVPower USB 
bank - and it works great - but once the battery has discharged, it 
needs a button to be pushed.  I use the Allstar PI as a jump box to 
tunnel through to other devices on the same network - hence my need for 
the device to auto-recover and gracefully shutdown to avoid corruption 
of the SD card.

I've been thinking about a UPS as I could use that to keep other devices 
powered up during a power outage.  It would be awesome to have a UPS 
where the AC outputs can be switched remotely (i.e., to recycle an 
appliance / device).  My initial thought was to use an IP9258T power bar.

I'm currently using one of these:

The great thing about this is that it allows you to remotely control 
each output and the USB ports - the bad thing is that when there's a 
power outage, it seems to default to all outlets OFF and turns on the 
USB power..... DUH - since my RAVPower USB bank has been plugged into 
one of the AC outlets, the fact that the power bar defaults to OFF after 
a power outage, is forcing my USB battery bank to discharge over time.

Cheers,

Ramesh.
