2 years ago Thanks so much Peter,
I’ll see if it’s able to be shaped into something that works with my new toys. Cheers! Doug

The name of the device, hardware, or software you would like to control Support for APC Switched PDU (Power Distribution Unit)
AP79XX Switched Rack PDUs AP86XX, AP89XX Switched Rack PDUs APC AP7950, APC AP7951, APC AP7952, APC AP7953
I have two APC AP7953 and am happy to test beta builds on Windows.
What you would like to be able to make it do from Companion The features to implement that are most desirable are:
Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)? No. It communicates over the network with Telnet and/or SSH and/or SNMP v1 and/or SNMP v3, and has a web interface.
If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it? The control protocol is documented here: https://www.apc.com/uk/en/faqs/FA156163/ (see "PDU command line interface.pdf" link at end https://ckm-content.se.com/ckmContent/sfc/servlet.shepherd/document/download/0691H00000GejKSQAZ) And further information is documented in the manuals here: https://www.apc.com/shop/ro/en/products/Rack-PDU-Switched-Zero-U-32A-230V-21-C13-3-C19/P-AP7953 (see "Documentation" section)
Usecases Power switching. Remote-controllable individually switched power distribution unit. It is like a really big group of 'home automation' style switches. Companion could not-only operate connected equipment, but also turn the power on/off for things. With use of delayed Actions, a really easy user control system can be created to turn things on and set everything up with one button press. Some models are often sold second-hand at low prices.
