I used or it used me for a couple of years. Then while looking for a replacement I found the snap version. I installed it in a fresh Ubuntu VM and it just works.
I have the same problem with a zwave energy meter that randomly send a single reading of multiple gigawatts. This makes the history unusable until I manually delete those data points. I haven't noticed this problem with any of my zigbee sensors.
The way you communicate your point is as important and the message itself. I stopped eating meat myself many years ago and really despise the meat industry, but unless we stop attacking meat eater and find a better way to communicate our ethical, environmental and health concerns we will not be able to change anybody's behavior.
Eaton is my recommendation. Look at the 5S1500 (modified sinewave) or 5SC1500. They all work with NUT. I have one of my UPS connected to a Raspberry PI Zero with NUT. And my servers NUT clients are scheduled to shutdown after a 2min outage and my NAS after 4min. I can also monitor the UPS from Home Assistant and receive notifications on my phone each time the UPS goes OB or OL.
I think this is the best homelab router out there. If you are new to Mikrotik there is definitely a steep learning curve.
Openwrt is fairly good too, but I think documentation can be lacking and confusing for some edge applications. My other concerns with openwrt is performance since it is compatible with a wide variety of hardware is difficult to know how it will perform without testing it.
