Sorry for the delay. Here are my outputs, but first a quick question: am I right in thinking I can change the name of my ups simply by editing ups.conf? That script I ran from the Pi forum used that name, and I don't care for it. Thanks again for your help.
$ upsrw pbx [battery.charge.low] Remaining battery level when UPS switches to LB (percent) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 10 [battery.runtime.low] Remaining battery runtime when UPS switches to LB (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 300 [ups.delay.shutdown] Interval to wait after shutdown with delay command (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 20 [ups.delay.start] Interval to wait before (re)starting the load (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 30 $ upscmd -l pbx Instant commands supported on UPS [pbx]: beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute) beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable) load.off - Turn off the load immediately load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds) load.on - Turn on the load immediately load.on.delay - Turn on the load with a delay (seconds) shutdown.return - Turn off the load and return when power is back shutdown.stayoff - Turn off the load and remain off shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress test.battery.start.deep - Start a deep battery test test.battery.start.quick - Start a quick battery test test.battery.stop - Stop the battery test On Wed, Oct 28, 2020 at 9:40 PM Charles Lepple <clep...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Oct 27, 2020, at 2:45 PM, Robert Stocker <kneadtok...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Thanks so much for all the help!
