'lo,
UPS model: APC Back-UPS BR 800 (supplied by Dell)
My USB connection:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Back-UPS Pro
500/1000/1500
# upsc desk@localhost|grep load
ups.load: 0.0
This UPS has 2 pc's and some minor other gear connected, yet the load
stays at 0.0 when checking with nut.
driver.version: 2.0.5
driver.version.data: APC/CyberPower HID 0.9
driver.version.internal: 0.30
ups.conf:
[desk]
driver = newhidups
port = auto
desc = "Desk UPS"
I have not tried Windows with PowerChute yet to see if it is reported
corretly there; other values in the UPS data seem to be correct and
valid.
Any clues? bug in NUT? bug in UPS?
Thanks,

You can also try starting the driver manually with debugging output enabled. Check to see the parameters passed to newhidups (e.g. "ps auxww|grep newhidups"). Then, stop the old driver, and add "-DD" to the parameters passed in by your startup script. There will be a good quantity of debug information. Let it run for about a minute or two, and see if you can't pick out the load value. Then gzip and send your log to the list, and we can try to figure out where the problem lies. -- - Charles Lepple
Don't know. You could run the driver with -DD to see the raw data reported by the UPS. -- Peter Tom Laermans wrote:> > 'lo, > > UPS model: APC Back-UPS BR 800 (supplied by Dell) > > My USB connection: > > Bus 001 Device 002: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Back-UPS Pro > 500/1000/1500 > > # upsc desk@localhost|grep load > ups.load: 0.0 > > This UPS has 2 pc's and some minor other gear connected, yet the load > stays at 0.0 when checking with nut. > > driver.version: 2.0.5 > driver.version.data: APC/CyberPower HID 0.9 > driver.version.internal: 0.30 > > ups.conf: > [desk] > driver = newhidups > port = auto > desc = "Desk UPS" > > I have not tried Windows with PowerChute yet to see if it is reported > corretly there; other values in the UPS data seem to be correct and > valid. > > Any clues? bug in NUT? bug in UPS? > > Thanks, > -- > Tom Laermans > System Administrator > > Luciad NV - http://www.luciad.com > Gaston Geenslaan 9, 3001 Leuven, Belgium > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Nut-upsuser mailing list > Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser >

Load now reads out fine. Doh. -- Tom Laermans System Administrator Luciad NV - http://www.luciad.com Gaston Geenslaan 9, 3001 Leuven, Belgium
