after a weekend of figuring out the topology of my new APC UPS and HA install, I had that working finally.
resulting in a HA add-on server for the NUT to be connected to by other clients. My 2 clients now are the Synology DSM, and the integration in HA itself.
given the fact the documentation mentions various sensors the integrations doesnt provide (eg dedicated entities for the 4 outlets my APC UPS has) and the availability of device commands (none of which are registered in my configuration) I wonder if there should be additional settings enabled.
I already added the ‘set’ command to the add-on config actions, which was empty by default:
users:
- username: <my username>
password: <my_pw>
instcmds:
- all
actions:
- set
devices:
- name: ups
driver: usbhid-ups
port: auto
config: []
mode: netserver
shutdown_host: true
i_like_to_be_pwned: false
Also, I did try to get the upscmd -l ups
in a terminal (both regular and 22222) but the command is not recognized. same goes for upsc [email protected]
which is mentioned under Network UPS Tools (NUT) - Home Assistant
I’ve also tried them as docker -exec commands after ssh’ing in at -22222, but even if that would be the proper way to enter the commands, I didnt succeed, so maybe more details need to be added in that string?
no actions appear in the device actions list either:
Hope anyone has more on this
