Nut upsdev - Jan 2006 - Thank you - newhidups (2.03-pre2) works with my APC BackUPS ES 500

Hi there,

I'm one of the maintainers of the SME Server distro (www.contribs.org) 
and we've been chasing this one for some time:

Many thanks to Peter Selinger and everyone else who helped with the 
debugging and patches.

Thanks,

For the record, 2.03-pre2 also appears to be working on another APC USB 
connected UPS, though I haven't gone through a powerfail test yet:

battery.charge: 100
battery.charge.low: 10
battery.charge.warning: 50
battery.date: 4158/00/03
battery.runtime: 480
battery.voltage: 13.0
battery.voltage.nominal: 12.0
driver.name: newhidups
driver.version: 2.0.3-pre2
driver.version.data: APC HID 0.8
driver.version.internal: 0.28
ups.firmware:  4.1.I
ups.firmware.aux:  d1
ups.mfr: American Power Conversion
ups.mfr.date: 2003/11/04
ups.model: Back-UPS ES/CyberFort 500
ups.serial: AB0345340245
ups.status: OL

This was the original machine on which we noticed the problem, so this 
rounds it off nicely.

I won't send further success reports, unless you would find them useful.

Thanks,

Gordon
