I posted earlier on this list about getting an Arduino Pro Micro using https://github.com/abratchik/HIDPowerDevice in a simple sketch to monitor a DIY UPS I have built. With the changes from that thread (I had a PR merged), I was able to get usbhid-ups to recognize my device and could setup NUT the rest of the way. My intended configuration is to run NUT on a Raspberry Pi, have that device be

Well, the intention generally is to use it as a driver, so the more abilities the merrier (PR would be welcome) :) Per comments to initial PR that added it, https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/1044 : > The idea of introducing this driver is to enable creation and prototyping of smart UPS based on Arduino, which is inexpensive versatile platform very much suitable for custom fully

oh! Ok, I'll go look at all the HID objects reported by the sample code @abratchik has on top-of-tree of his repo and see what makes sense to add to NUT. PR coming this week.

Looks very great, thanks for writing this! I gather you'd port this to the Wiki page you've started, too? A couple of comments: > So I run a NUT server on a Raspberry PI which is connected via USB to my DIY-NAS Arduino. DIY-UPS? > See drivers/arduino-hid.c for the list of supported IDs... Since NUT v2.8.1 [PR #1369], the `usbhid-ups` driver allows the user to specify a

Ha! I got several on and off list requests for details, so I'll give a bunch of details here and then maybe I can move this to a wiki page others can help edit. WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Be careful! My implementation required opening up high power components, and dealing with 120VAC mains power and high currents on 12VDC. If you decide to tackle any of this yourself, you need to understand

I put together my own DIY UPS, it's a RV charger/converter, an inverter, and some batteries. I use an Arduino and the HIDPowerDevice library ( https://github.com/abratchik/HIDPowerDevice) to get it to talk to NUT. Been working great for months! The Arduino is connected to two modules: * AC detection circuit to measure mains power on/off * Voltage divider and an external ADC to get a

Hi Kelly - As an Arduino nerd, I am interested in this! I am sure others on the list would be interested. If nothing else, it would be nice to have some documentation in the archives. I assume you set it up as an online system rather than a standby system. Right? If true, then the choice of inverter is fairly critical. It has to be bomb-proof reliable. What did you choose for battery

I agree with earlier posters, such documentation can help future tinkerers. There is probably more than just one to hold the hand and walk through the ordeals :) Perhaps a new page at https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki can be a good location...

Hello, I found out about NUT just days ago while searching for a solution for my home setup. After some digging through the interwebs, I come to you with questions. I'm putting together a DIY 12V UPS, very similar to what this guy did: [1] https://baldpenguin.blogspot.com/2015/10/diy-12v-ups-for-home-network-equipment.html The objective is to keep a bunch of mini PCs and network gear

Making progress on this PR. I have question about storing and checking state in a subdriver HID Power Devices can a "UPS.PowerSummary.CapacityMode" value. According to the spec, the values are: 0: maH 1: mwH 2: percent (%) 3: Boolean support only (OK or failed) Grep'ing the source, nothing makes use of this now (some subdrivers have it mapped to

Hi, I am looking any way to communicant with Arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/) Wiring (http://www.wiring.org.co) boards and read data generate with sensor on these. If anyone know how to do it, I will appreciate if could give some advice. Thanks in advance

> VID 2341 doesn't show up in the NUT Git source tree. I was curious about this so just searched for Arduino and then 2341. I found a few hits, but the interesting one was in nut/drivers /arduino-hid.c I don't know enough about the project to know what a "subdriver" (that's what the comments says) is, but it looks to me like there's at least some people that have

Hello, today I'm fighting with a Online Zinto 1000 (lsusb.txt) produced by Phoenixtec/Eaton ;-) http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/OurCompany/NewsandEvents/NewsList/CT_141334 I have tested different drivers without success (please see attachments usbhid-ups.txt, bcmxcp_usb.txt, blazer_usb.txt) The help got unfortunately time outs (explore.txt)

You have the device side right. Devices have "UPS.PowerSummary.CapacityMode" (are the next three in %, mAh, or mWh? "UPS.PowerSummary.FullChargeCapacity" "UPS.PowerSummary.RemainingCapacity" "UPS.PowerSummary.RemainingCapacityLimit" "UPS.PowerSummary.WarningCapacityLimit" According to nut-names.txt, NUT has: battery.charge | Battery

Hello all, I think there was a very good reply about an Arduino-based controller for a DIY UPS here. The project you posted to, with an Arduino presenting as a Megatec protocol server, also seems interesting. Here I'd like to reply to one point not covered before - DMF. As a short and quick reply - unfortunately no, you can not use it with stock upstream NUT at the moment, and not for

Hello all, Now that I am subscribed to the list I can reply at last :) Kelly, thank you for the comprehensive write-up and pointers to sources and the Arduino lib and example. This took me into a rabbit hole and I've spent entirely too many hours browsing through the NUT sources and USB/HID/PowerDevice specs. Jim, thanks for the comprehensive write-up and all the work you do on NUT. This
