Network UPS Tools Add-On and Integration

Third party integrations
1

Hi,

I am working to get NUT working with my UPS and HomeAssistant but running into a hurdle I haven’t been able to get past.

Current Configuration:
HomeAssistant Supervised on RaspberryPi3

It looks like everything in the log file is starting properly but when I go to add the Integration I am constantly met with the message “Failed to Connect.” I have checked the username and password, tried host as localhost, 127.0.0.1, and the Pi IP address.

Any tips to get me past this hurdle?

Thanks

Hi!

As you are running the nut addon, HA should find it automatically I think. Did you try restarting HA?
My integration is setup like this:

  • host: a0d7b954-nut (docker container id)
  • port: 3493
3

That’s what I thought would occur but it isn’t popping up for me. I have gone through a few system restarts with no change. Good to know about the host, I might have to sort out which docker container ID is running my NUT install.

4

I think it’s the same ID as it is the one written in the addon documentation

It took me a minute to find the host name on the Add-on page but once I did everything came together to work. Thank you for the help.
