I'm a long-time user of APC UPSs and apcupsd, but have been experiencing
issues with recent APC units, although I have three BackUPS CS650 units
which have had very little issue..
I've recently replaced the APC 1200 unit on my fileserver (running
Slackware) with a CyberPower UPS and that appears to be well supported
by NUT.
However, I have an APC BX950MI unit which is currently being replaced
under warranty. This unit has never worked well with apcupsd.
I understand that changes have recently been incorporated into NUT to
handle the BX units. I have installed NUT onto a Raspberry Pi, running
PiOS (Bookworm), but NUT pulled from the PiOS repository is only at
v2.8.0, not the latest. This works okay with the CS650 APC but I fear
that it doesn't include the latest BX series fixes.
What do I need to do to to get the BX950 working satisfactorily with
NUT? Will an update of the usbhid-ups driver work or do I need the
complete NUT v2.8.2 from somewhere?
How can I go about this?
All advice gratefully received.
