I have a UPS in the livingroom for my cable modem, Emby/NAS server and MagicJack. Never even thought of putting a UPS in that cabinet. Good you have a heat sensor...Does it cut all power when it triggers?
One of the first things I did when I moved into my house was to rip out that Hunter Irrigation controller and replace it with a Rachio controller.

I installed the battery backup so when we get those random couple second power glitches or a short powe outage, my internet and everything in that data cabinet would remain running. You can get this UPS on Amazon or a slightly smaller one that will fit from home depot.

The temperature sensor is used to alert me by text if the temperature goes above 100 degrees in the cabinet. With the small fans, it usually never gets that hot. I have a HomeSeer home automation system installed in my home that monitors temperature, water leaks, controls lights etc...
