New apcupsd Hass.io add-on

moraesgyn · September 13, 2020, 1:05am

Hello Koryl!

I live in Brazil and I bought a APC UPS 1500, its seems like its not compatible with your app, here is a little info that I collected:

APC USB SERIAL CONVERTER (Windows USB Name)

hassio name:
/serial/by-id/usb-APC_BY-SCHNEIDER_ELECTRIC_APC_USB_SERIAL_CONVERTER.-if00

Logs:
Sep 12 21:19:22 a722577e-apcupsd syslog.info syslogd started: BusyBox v1.30.1
Sep 13 00:19:22 a722577e-apcupsd daemon.notice apcupsd[6]: apcupsd 3.14.14 (31 May 2016) unknown startup succeeded
Sep 13 00:19:32 a722577e-apcupsd daemon.info apcupsd[6]: NIS server startup succeeded

Response on sensor:

I get “UPS Status COMMLOST” on both windows and hassio using your app.

Thanks in Advance,

-Tony

Hi all, I’m using the APC UPS Daemon add-on with success, but I do not understand why I’m unable to run sudo apcaccess command from the ssh terminal:

For sure I’m missing something… any ideas?

Hello, everyone. Due to a lack of time I’ve decided to archive this add-on. I suggest migrating to the NUT add-on which is well-supported and better integrated into Home Assistant. You can read more in the README.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me support this add-on over the past few years.

Hi Kory,
NUT does not provide so many information, and for some reason, it is inaccurate for me.
Is there anyway to download your custom apcupsd, even you archived ?
PS: I had it before, and worked very fine. I changed my environment, and unfortunately did not saved.
thanks in advance,

You could try this add-on:

well, thank you dave. i have nut for my other apc, which is brazilian standard. But NUT does not work so well. apcupsd has many more information and it is more precise.
that is why I asked.

Ah ok, sorry, I mis-read your post.

Tony, you must use NUT. NUT has driver for microsol UPS type, which is the brazilizan model

The repository is still available here, I’m just not updating it. I was able to follow my old instructions and install the network version of the add-on. I didn’t try the USB version since NUT is managing the USB for me.

I’d say just give it a try.

Thank you Kory. I finally was able to install it.
Unfortunately, my home assistant can’t reach the USB, I am getting COMMLOST

Well, I rolled back to NUT.

Best Regards,
