I sincerely don't know. I have asked for this on both the user- and development mailinglists a couple of months ago and the only response I got was from the co-author of the 'powerpanel' driver. If we don't get feedback from either the vendor or users, the situation won't change. > - If not that, what about "ups.temperature"?

There is no way to conclusively tell a temperature is 'wacky' since the range of possible values goes from 0..255. So while this may appear to work in some cases, there is no guarantee that this will always work. We have seen this kind of assumptions fail in other drivers before. > - Has anyone got PowerPanel Plus to run under Wine for snooping purposes? I don't know. I wrote most of this driver based on the sniffed serial communications from two people (and the result of which is in this driver now), but so far I have seen nothing for the version of the binary protocol your UPS seems to use. I don't even have a single CyberPower UPS.
