Hello.
I recently got an Energenie EG-UPS-034
(https://energenie.com/item.aspx?id=8088).
I tried to get it working with NUT, but got the same (unresolved) issue as
described here:
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2017-March/010555.html -
UPS returns the same values every time.
Bundled GUI software (UPSmart) worked fine. The only difference is buflen (511
for NUT and 102 for UPSmart). I tried setting it explicitly in nutdrv_qx.c, and
it worked (the same solution for hunnox exists in the same file).
So, I made a patch for Energenie UPS support. It adds the keyword
"energenie_fix". Fields novendor, norating, langid_fix are required
for this model; override.battery.packs is optional.
Sample ups.conf entry:
[EG034]
driver = "nutdrv_qx"
subdriver = "krauler"
protocol = "megatec"
port = "auto"
vendorid = "0001"
productid = "0000"
product = "MEC0003"
bus = "003"
override.battery.packs = "1"
langid_fix = "0x409"
novendor = "enabled"
norating = "enabled"
energenie_fix = "enabled"
The patch is attached. I'd like some feedback - is it the most elegant way
to fix this problem? Maybe it's wiser to add an option
"buflen_override" which takes a numerical value?
Cheers.
