WinNUT only shows "UPS on battery" but it is actually on line #21

quadratmuede commented 4 years ago

Hi I am using an Eaton Elipse Eco UPS on synology and trying to deploy WinNUT on some Windows PCs which is connected in the same network as Synology. After configuration, it shows the parameter properly, but the status (left panel) always says that the UPS is battery, but actually it is on line and 100% charged...

it is possible, but unlikely, that your inverter will use a different field or value than expected. To check it, 2 possibilities:

the expected value is "OL" for the ups.status field

if this is not the case for your inverter, I would be interested in you providing me with the text result in order to take this scenario into account.

on the other hand, if the value is good it will be necessary to see a little more in depth the logs in debug mode to see what value or error occurs on the processing of this data.

Hi there,

thanks for the quick reply. I checked it... Indeed Eaton uses different parameters... For status it uses "OL CHRG" instead of simply "OL" I will paste the wohle variables from upsc here:

battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 20 battery.runtime: 2362 battery.type: PbAc device.mfr: EATON device.model: Ellipse ECO 1200 device.serial: 000000000 device.type: ups driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 5 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.version: DSM6-2-25364-191230 driver.version.data: MGE HID 1.33 driver.version.internal: 0.38 input.transfer.high: 264 input.transfer.low: 184 outlet.1.desc: PowerShare Outlet 1 outlet.1.id: 2 outlet.1.status: on outlet.1.switchable: no outlet.2.desc: PowerShare Outlet 2 outlet.2.id: 3 outlet.2.status: on outlet.2.switchable: no outlet.desc: Main Outlet outlet.id: 1 outlet.power: 25 outlet.switchable: no output.frequency.nominal: 50 output.voltage: 230.0 output.voltage.nominal: 230 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: 20 ups.delay.start: 30 ups.firmware: 02 ups.load: 12 ups.mfr: EATON ups.model: Ellipse ECO 1200 ups.power.nominal: 1200 ups.productid: ffff ups.serial: 000000000 ups.status: OL CHRG ups.timer.shutdown: 0 ups.timer.start: 0 ups.vendorid: 0463

okay it can change without problem.

I could update it very quickly.

on the other hand I do not think I am wrong in saying that it is not a standard return. it might be interesting to see the feedback you have in the different cases (on battery, partially discharged battery, or recharging) because I think "chrg" means a battery state.

Same here with me. I have "OL CHRG" as well. I have a CyberPower SX650U.

jonathanrobichaud4 commented 4 years ago

Once it reaches 100% charge it switches to on line.

gawindx commented 4 years ago

thank you for this return, I suspected that it had a particular meaning

I will modify the code of v1.8 and take it into account for v2

gawindx commented 4 years ago

The corrected version is available in v1.8.0.2 It also includes a correction to v1.8.0.1 which had not been released.
