Nut upsuser - Nov 2014 - nut and Tripp Lite smart500rt1u on Scientific Linux 7

I installed nut from the epel repository on Scientific Linux 7. I would like to
get my smart500rt1u working, but # upsc smart500 at localhost gives the
following output:

battery.voltage.nominal: 0

ups.status:

As you can see, the ups.status line is blank, and there is no battery voltage.?
If I try to have the machine automatically shut down, I would need to use
ups.status, according to the manual.? I have had the stale data error as well.?

Support for protocol 3005 was not added until this summer, and we have not yet
released a version of NUT which includes this.

However, depending on how easy it is to rebuild packages in Scientific Linux,
you may be able to download a snapshot of NUT (labeled "2.7.2.5", but
that is just a placeholder version number for the autobuilder) and rebuild. When
you say "epel repository", is it the same as for RHEL/Fedora?

Theoretically, you should be able to download the SRPM from here:

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/n/

install to /usr/src (or something) and rebuild with a NUT snapshot:

http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/snapshots

If you have questions, let us know - I'm sure there are other users of
RPM-based distributions on the list.
