Nut upsuser - May 2024 - APC SMC1500 question

Thanks d tbsky,
Actually, my nut server is connected via usb. APC looks to be a very common UPS
brand.
I wonder whether there is another version of the usbhid server or another server
for this UPS ?

SMC series has no modbus support. there is currently no microlink
support under nut or apcupsd.

 if you want to use full usbhid, you need to find APC models which
support it(like Back-UPS Pro).
 normally newer APC models only export very few information via
usbhid. newer APC use microlink(no nut driver), some support
modbus(apcupsd driver).
