Nut upsuser - Apr 2017 - HP R1500 G2 USB on Ubuntu

Hello,

Control HP R1500 G2 with nut via USB.

Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-72-generic x86_64)
nut V2.7.1 installed from repository

/etc/nut/ups.conf
[HPR1500]
driver=usbhid-ups
port=auto

After dealing hours with this, hope this will help some :

rename udev rule to higher priority and move it to its right location, 
reload udev rules
mv /lib/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules 
/lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules
cp /lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
udevadm control --reload-rules
udevadm trigger
reboot server to be sure everything is OK

what was the issue before that?

if you put that in the ups.conf definition, would it have made it detect it 
without the issues above?

Yes, this has been a known issue for a while:

If you have time before putting this UPS into production, can you grab upsrw and
upscmd output, as mentioned here?
http://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html#footnotes

We have the upsc output for this UPS via serial port (bcmxcp driver), but not
upsrw/upscmd: http://networkupstools.org/ddl/HP/R1500_G2.html

I would also recommend shutdown testing, but 14.04 is pretty reliable in this
area (16.04 has some issues with powerdown, IIRC).

I didn't know the serial as I couldn't connect to UPS via
upsc

Yes : battery.runtime has decreased from 2444 to 60 while UPS was OB, 
then UPS has shut down
It displayed always 3781 while charging. Still at 3781 after battery 
charge (ups.power at 112)

Ambiant temperature is around 27?C here.
battery.temperature went up to 51 at the end of OB cycle.
It has displayed 51 while charging. Now back to 46 after battery charge 
complete.

Here they are:

upsrw -u admin -p adminpass HPR1500
[battery.charge.low]
Remaining battery level when UPS switches to LB (percent)
Type: STRING
Maximum length: 5
Value: 20

[input.transfer.high]
High voltage transfer point (V)
Type: STRING
Maximum length: 5
Value: 266.0

[input.transfer.low]
Low voltage transfer point (V)
Type: STRING
Maximum length: 5
Value: 194.0

[ups.delay.shutdown]
Interval to wait after shutdown with delay command (seconds)
Type: STRING
Maximum length: 10
Value: 20

[ups.delay.start]
Interval to wait before (re)starting the load (seconds)
Type: STRING
Maximum length: 10
Value: 30

upscmd -u admin -p adminpass -l HPR1500
Instant commands supported on UPS [HPR1500]:

beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper
beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper
beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper
beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute)
beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable)
load.off - Turn off the load immediately
load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds)
load.on - Turn on the load immediately
load.on.delay - Turn on the load with a delay (seconds)
shutdown.reboot - Shut down the load briefly while rebooting the UPS
shutdown.return - Turn off the load and return when power is back
shutdown.stayoff - Turn off the load and remain off
shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress
test.battery.start.deep - Start a deep battery test
test.battery.start.quick - Start a quick battery test
test.battery.stop - Stop the battery test

Hope this helps.
