[Feature]: allow other hardware categories to be "runs-on" UPS category hardware #284

Description

@austinp0573

What feature would you like?

The ability to allow other hardware (servers/switches/routers/firewalls/desktops/ect) to be assigned to a given UPS via the already in place runs on nesting structure.

What problem does it solve?

There is presently the functionality to add "system" resources to a UPS, but that isn't really consistent with how a UPS would be deployed. Ideally it would be possible to assign other hardware resources to a given UPS using the already in place "runs-on" property. This would make it much easier to map all of the NUT (Network UPS Tools) servers/clients to their respective UPS. Additionally, if an optional field were added to hardware items, something like, "Estimated Power Draw", one could then have a central way for mapping and estimating the load on a given UPS.

I am personally regretful that my C# skill is not sufficient to quickly implement this feature myself. This is remarkable useful and helpful software.

Where would this apply?

Both
