I asked if pfSense was FreeBSD based, you said OpenBSD but it's really based on 
FreeBSD (and it makes a difference especially for USB related matters).

Can you paste the output of dmesg and usbconfig with the UPS connected please?

RPi normally is consuming about 2W (if it doesn't have to power
anything via USB), so way under 0.5% of an average UPS.
Couple of weeks ago when I was running my tests nut@RPi was reliably
reporting the about 33% of load I have on my UPS (for the time being I
have also a cheap kill-a-watt meter on the UPS input):

RPi is maybe too green (Ie not consuming enough power) to be visible.
I'm interesting in the result with more load...

the 'WALL' flag is in charge of this, so just check that it's present for
every event you want to see broadcasted.

for more information, refer to NOTIFYFLAG in

sorry, wrong copy/paste on my side.
the base comment was good ("first thing, 0x409 seems to be the one to
select"), but not the provided config.

can you please test it again with "langid_fix = 0x409"?

Re: [Nut-upsuser] APC Smart UPS C1000

2012-09-05 Thread cmb991
Daniel, 
This is what you asked: 


1. Does it show up in dmesg, or when you run usbconfig? (pfsense is based on 
FreeBSD right?) 

2. What version of NUT do you have installed? 

Running 'upsc -h' should show the version, eg.. 
[midget 10:55] ~ >upsc -h 
Network UPS Tools upsc 2.6.4-Unversioned directory 

usage: upsc -l | -L [[:port]] 
 


My Response Was: 
1. The only thing that shows up is when I enable it, it sends a broadcasted 
message saying that it can't find the UPS. 
2. On pfSense, the versions of the packages are listed. This is the version on 
mine. Version 2.2.2_5 pkg 1.4. 
[2.0.1-RELEASE][ad...@host.domain.org]/root(2): upsc -h 
Network UPS Tools upsc 2.2.2 

Where do you see the other two questions? And which one of these did I not 
answer right?

If you want help you need to read the emails people are sending you. 

I asked 4 questions, you answered 2 and I am pretty sure you got the answer to 
1 wrong :-/

good question!
blazer_usb will reconnect upon certain error, like your IO one.
but the thing is that device permissions must allow that.
Ie, on Linux, udev is in charge of setting the permissions for NUT on all
known devices.
thus, upon any kind of disconnection/reconnection, NUT will be able to
establish again the communication.
you should dig around this...

cheers,
Arnaud

if you're using a standard integration (Ie, using official packages from
distro), that uses 'upsdrvctl shutdown' to instruct the final UPS poweroff,
you can just put "sdorder = -1" in the ups.conf section of your device:
