I’ve installed and configured Network UPS Tools so that HA is Master. I’d like have my QNAP NAS monitor the UPS as a slave unit to HA. How do I go about adding a remote access account to Network UPS Tools?
Note: The QNAP NAS has been configured as a slave. I tried setting the Network UPS Tools user as ‘admin’ with a password of ‘123456’, which is what the QNAP credentials are, but PWNED protection in HA prevents use of the QNAP password.
RESOLVED - there is a setting in the Network UPS Tools config file that I missed in the documentation. It is i_like_to_be_pwned. When set to ‘true’ the short password used by the QNAP NAS is accepted, the server starts and the QNAP connects as a slave to HA Network UPS Tools. Adding the following to the config file worked wonders;
Can you please share your configuration under “Network UPS Tools” (which driver etc.)
as well as what ever config is required and what it offers you eventually?
(I have a QNAP NAS and hoping to use it to expose UPS status to HA so I can automate power outage actions - is that possible??)
Looking forward to learn more on what I can do with this!
This should be possible. My configuration is the opposite way around. The UPS is connected to the Home Assistant device using the NUT integration. It’s configured as Master on that device (HA Blue). On the QNAP I’ve set the “Network UPS as Slave”. In the “IP address of the UPS” field, I entered the IP address of the HA device. On HA I see;
Thanks for getting back to me on this @rcblackwell !
I am wondering, are you able to learn based on the diagnostic information if the UPS kicks off during power outage, or just monitor the various numeric data and settings?
Also, can you share the Addon config? – (mainly - driver, mode & port)
have you set the network host port or did the Qnap get access to the HA host without it?
If the NUT is connected to the HA device, I guess you are using the Addon?
in that case I am able to see the UPS integration on HA but QNAP can’t seem to pull any data (nothing displayed under “UPS information”
What’s the Addon configuration if so?
What drivers / users do you have setup under the addon? any port specifications changed?
any idea how I can diagnose what’s keeping HA from getting data from the HA master NUT?
If U connected the UPS to QNAP, I see the UPS information in qnap but can’t seem to pull the data on HA
in this case QNAP is the NUT master (connected via USB), the HA IP is whitelisted for UPS services
when I setup the integration in HA and add the QNAP IP - I get unexpected error
I finally made it work,
seems like on top of all above pointers, device name should be set to “qnapups” for QNAP to connect (along with the admin user & insane password)
Hello Everyone… Attempting to set this up on my HA Yellow, with the UPS connected to the Yellow USB port. Followed this thread and the Network UPS Tools config to the letter. But no matter what I do nothing works?
