UPS shutdown - Energy saving settings

Hi There,

I just noted the the Energy Saving options have been drastically reduced on OS Ventura.

Due to the numerous power failures we are experiencing I have to install an interactive UPS on this Mac and setup an automatic shutdown.

I am on a Mac Studio running Ventura 13.2.1

Any hint on how to do this now that the settings in Energy Saver have disappeared?

Thanks

macOS Ventura —use Sleep wake schedule via the Terminal.app

Schedule your Mac to turn on or off in Terminal - Apple Support

Used to use an American Power Conversion UPS which came with a Cable.

It connected the UPS to the USB-A port on the computer.

This was back on macOS 10.15 Catalina

No Third Party Software from the Manufacture for macOS was required.

In the Energy Saving Setting and with that cable connection an additional Tab would appear.

In this Tab in the OS, it would allow the user to configure the computer to Shut Down when the UPS Power was low and various other setting

Have not used the Cabling method since that time

So, can not Directly comment on Venturas' functionality in this setup
