Geekworm X1200 UPS Shield for Raspberry Pi 5

Native integrationLocal control

Wi-Fi

Verified July 2026

Battery backup for the box running Home Assistant, not a smart-home protocol device — but if HA is your household's lighting and heating controller, a power cut taking it down too is a real problem. Bottom-mounts via pogo pins so your Pi 5's GPIO header stays free for other HATs. Bring your own 18650 cells; there's no native HA integration, it just keeps the server alive through a blip and does a clean auto-shutdown if the outage runs long.

Specs

output: 5.1V/5A max via USB-C
features: AC-loss detection, auto power-on, GPIO safe-shutdown daemon
batteries: 2x user-supplied 18650 Li-ion (max 65.3mm)
compatibility: Raspberry Pi 5
