Reliable Power Protection for Smart Homes, AV Racks & Residential Automation
Smart homes require clean, continuous power. Even a brief outage can reboot AV processors, interrupt lighting control, disrupt home networks, or shut down security systems. For CEDIA integrators, choosing the right UPS is essential to delivering a stable, high-performance smart home experience.
Xtreme Power provides lithium UPS systems, short-depth line-interactive UPS, modular whole-home UPS, and Smart PDUs engineered for home automation, home theaters, and structured wiring applications.
Why Power Protection Matters in Smart Homes
- Prevents automation and AV system reboots during power loss
- Keeps Wi-Fi, routers, PoE switches, and gateways online
- Maintains uptime for cameras, NVRs, firewalls, and access control
- Offers remote reboot to reduce costly service visits
- Protects sensitive AV and networking gear with conditioned power
- Ensures lighting control systems remain responsive

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Why do smart homes need a UPS?
A. UPS prevents power interruptions from disrupting AV racks, home networks, lighting control, and automation processors.
Q. Why choose a lithium UPS for AV systems?
A. Lithium (LiFePO₄) UPS models offer cooler operation, compact size, and 10–15-year battery life—ideal for tight residential AV and networking racks.
Q. Can I reboot devices remotely?
A. Yes. Smart PDUs and remote switching UPS models allow off-site reboot of routers, processors, firewalls, and AV devices to reduce service calls.
Q. Which UPS is best for my smart home or AV system?
A. Small loads and shallow cabinets → J60 / J60C or V70 Series
AV racks and PoE switches → J90
Media rooms and larger AV systems → P91 Li
Whole-home backup → M90S-12S
Large estates and mission-critical AV → Li90 3-Phase
Q. How long will my equipment run on a UPS?
A. Runtime varies by load and model, but typical AV and networking systems can run from several minutes to over an hour. Larger modular systems provide extended runtimes.
Q. What warranty is included?
A. Xtreme Power offers up to a 6-year standard warranty, and lithium batteries often last 15 years, minimizing maintenance over the lifespan of the system.
