Thanks for reporting this, we appreciate feedback like this to keep
our list of supported devices current.

This is a known problem that is mentioned in the manual page 'man 8
megatec'.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean here. Where did you add
this delay?
> - the test commands do not work for this UPS.
Known problem too. Many vendors use this protocol (or something that
is similar enough to be understood by the megatec driver) without
fully implementing it.

Yes.

If you would have added the output of 'upsc' too, you would be the
winner of our grand prize today. :-)

Indeed.

The config files are not needed, but it would be nice to see:
- the output of 'upsc'
- what you did to make the UPS shutdown
If you can send this, I'll add it to the list of supported devices.
