Does anyone feel up to the challenge? There's some research and python code to interact with MicroLink-only serial APC models, waiting for a port into NUT... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: EetuRasilainen <[email protected]> Date: Fri, May 13, 2022, 20:35 Subject: [networkupstools/nut] Support for MicroLink APC UPSs (Issue #1426) To: networkupstools/nut <[email protected]> Cc: Subscribed <[email protected]> Hi there, as you know APC is still manufacturing MicroLink-only UPSs. I have purchased a APC SMC1000I and just found out that it could only be used as a generic USB-HID UPS with NUT right now. And unfortunately the SMC-series is not capable of ModBus so there are still APC devices out there which can only use MicroLink for a full operation. So I think it would be great if MicroLink-UPSs could be supported directly by NUT at least through a serial connection. That's why I'd like to raise this *feature request* here. For testing purposes I have created a custom serial cable with this pinout <https://pinoutguide.com/UPS/apc_0625_cable_pinout.shtml> and used the following Python tool for checking the MicroLink communication with my unit: https://github.com/klaasdc/apcups-serial-test I was able to get information about my unit and even set the battery installation date through MicroLink in a Python shell (with the help of some sample code <https://github.com/klaasdc/apcups-serial-test/issues/1>). So it seems like the protocol description is there, it's just written in Python and needs to be ported to C. Unfortunately I am only familiar with Python and not with C :( — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/1426>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AAMPTFB5XN5AUZJRQOI7OCTVJ2OHLANCNFSM5V4E7ROQ> .
