Re: [Nut-upsuser] Shutdown variables

Thanks, useful.

Started with 2 x levels of debug, and grepped for that element, I see:

Dec  5 14:25:28 emp80 nut-driver@eaton5sx[1418584]:   5.108828#011[D1]  
Path: UPS.PowerSummary.PresentStatus.NeedReplacement, Type: Input,  
ReportID: 0x02, Offset: 8, Size: 8, Value: 0
Dec  5 14:25:29 emp80 nut-driver@eaton5sx[1418584]:   6.419040#011[D2]  
Path: UPS.PowerSummary.PresentStatus.NeedReplacement, Type: Feature,  
ReportID: 0x02, Offset: 8, Size: 8, Value: 0


So is that the UPS telling the driver that it is reporting on it, but  
with value 0? It's the same entries as on the 5S 1000 extract you  
linked.


What are the Input and Feature lines respectively?

Simon.

Can anyone advise whether the Eaton USB UPSs support that?  
Specifically mine is a 5SX 1750.


I don't know for the 5SX line in particular, but if you have a  
maintenance window where you can stop NUT, then start the usbhid-ups  
driver manually with a few -D flags (was 2+ for older versions of  
NUT), there is a HID descriptor element you can look for:


UPS.PowerSummary.PresentStatus.NeedReplacement

and that gets mapped to the RB flag in ups.status, and "Replace  
battery!" in ups.alarm.


If the 5SX is a superset of the 5S, then it should have this. A 5S  
1000 log is here:  
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2016-May/010122.html


Reference:

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/mge-hid.c#L1264  
(assuming your UPS has a vendorid of 0x0463) maps the variable to  
replacebatt_info -> mapped to "replacebatt" string in  
drivers/usbhid-ups.c, then to RB:
