Hi,
I have my APC UPS detected by the FreeNAS system:
uhid0: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS C 1500 FWUPS 10.0 ID1005, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.06, addr 2> on usbus3
I have been able to set up the UPS service using the GUI.
I was even able to shutdown the Server with the option "UPS goes on battery" when unpluging power to the UPS so communication seems to be functioning.
However when I try the command "upsc ups" I am getting "unknown UPS". The idea is to get the Server switched off when the UPS is running low on battery.
So I am wondering how the Server will find out that information if it can't read the UPS values.
Is there anything I can do to improve the setup.
Basically, I have chosen "APC ups 2 Smart-UPS USB USB (usbhid-ups)" as driver, "/dev/uhid0" as port, Master as mode and that's it.
Thanks!
