UPS recommendation?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

SNMP UPS working as intended. Have not tried the USB connection, yet.

Patrick, I spent some hours going through NUT pull requests, issues, web sites, etc. I even submitted a little patch. My impression, unfortunately, is that the project is moribund.

Pretty sure I have a CyberPower CP1300EPFCLCD-UK working with my main FreeNAS system which is running 11.3-U4.1, although now you have me worried!

I know this is old, but I have just been given a CP1300EPFCLCD, im off to go pick it up tomorrow. I did a search on here for that serial number, which is why I'm posting here.

So was this model ok for you in the end? Did you have to do anything special?

Apart from having a faulty one to begin with that just used to power everything off without warning - like an anti-UPS!

Amazon replaced it under warranty and refunded me the old one so I could buy a new one (same model) which was about £40 cheaper. That one has done exactly what I expected a UPS to do and worked perfectly with FreeNAS and now TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5

So were you using the driver "Cyber Power Systems ups 2 CP1500AVRLCD USB (usbhid-ups)" ? I can only assume so.

Glad it sounds like it should be ok and that you got some life out of it too :)

usbhid-ups$CP1350AVRLCD

Ok , ok i shall try the 1350 instead of the 1500, but i tested it last night and all seemed to be working, i would assume all the 1300, 1350 & 1500 are the same driver.

Thx though, I shall switch it over.

However after running a test of the system

Which worked fine, i did notice this error in the logs when i try to edit the web GUI services/UPS and im not sure if it's anything important.

Code:

But im very happy as things are :)
