First, a HUGE thanks ! To answer your questions, (and I should replete, for those coming after :-) - this is a vigor embo 650 UPS device) )
(I have some success, - but there is still some issue - see below, I'll go through whats working first) When I boot my iMac, with the device connected, I get: echo show 'State:/IOKit/PowerSources/UPS0' | scutil <dictionary> { Is Charging : TRUE Is Present : TRUE Max Capacity : 100 Name : STD UPS MON V1.0 Power Source ID : 0 Power Source State : AC Power Transport Type : USB Voltage : 130 } The state remains unchanged if you pull out the power on the UPS, and it is working from batter - HENCE the need to use NUT … Next, if I unplug, and re-plug the USB cable, I then do not have any keys in the scutil…. e.g.: echo list 'State:/IOKit/.*' | scutil subKey [0] = State:/IOKit/Power/CPUPower subKey [1] = State:/IOKit/PowerManagement/CurrentSettings subKey [2] = State:/IOKit/PowerManagement/SystemLoad subKey [3] = State:/IOKit/PowerManagement/SystemLoad/Detailed subKey [4] = State:/IOKit/SystemPowerCapabilities At this point, if I follow the instructions given in the link you provided below (THANKS), things begin to show some hint of life: for completeness, and to help anybody else: > more /System/Library/Extensions/NUTDummy.kext/Contents/Info.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>English</string> <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key> <string>Dummy UPS Driver</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.intelms.driver.dummy</string> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>NUTDummy</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>KEXT</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>1.0.0</string> <key>CFBundleSignature</key> <string>????</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>1.0.0</string> <key>IOKitPersonalities</key> <dict> <key>Uninterruptible Power Supply</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.kpi.iokit</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>IOService</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOUSBInterface</string> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>idProduct</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>bInterfaceNumber</key> <string>*</string> <key>bConfigurationValue</key> <string>*</string> </dict> </dict> <key>OSBundleLibraries</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.iokit.IOUSBFamily</key> <string>1.8</string> </dict> <key>OSBundleRequired</key> <string>Root</string> </dict> </plist> Now, the following commands work: > sudo /opt/local/bin/upsdrvctl start > sudo /opt/local/bin/upsd > upsc zigor battery.voltage: 13.90 battery.voltage.nominal: 12.0 beeper.status: disabled device.mfr: ZIGOR device.model: EBRO 650 device.type: ups driver.name: blazer_usb driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.parameter.productid: 0000 driver.parameter.vendorid: 0001 driver.version: 2.6.1 driver.version.internal: 0.03 input.current.nominal: 2.8 input.frequency: 50.0 input.frequency.nominal: 50 input.voltage: 227.0 input.voltage.fault: 165.0 input.voltage.nominal: 230 output.voltage: 227.0 ups.delay.shutdown: 30 ups.delay.start: 180 ups.firmware: VER 1.74 ups.load: 10 ups.mfr: ZIGOR ups.model: EBRO 650 ups.productid: 0000 ups.status: OL ups.temperature: 0.0 ups.type: offline / line interactive ups.vendorid: 0001 (Given I have set up /opt/local/etc/ups.conf).

I _think_ related to this - it's not exactly ideal to have to unplug, and re-plug the USB cable each time I restart my machine - so I'm GUESSING I have an issue still with the NUTDummy mechanism, but I'm not sure I know what it could be… Any ideas?
