WinNUT registering as a local UPS #44

I'm not sure if this is technically possible, but I'd like to make the request: could WinNUT (running as a service) register with Windows as a local UPS, so Windows thinks there is a UPS connected locally? WinNUT could then just pass on all the data it gets from the UPSmon server. This might be interesting as a long-term feature request.

this suggestion is not without interest, but unfortunately it seems to me that for this to work, I would have to write a driver so that windows can handle it correctly.

The problem is, for now, it feels way beyond my skills.

Now your idea is far from bad and I would be remiss if I gave you a final no.

I will therefore not refuse your idea but it is unlikely that it will be put on the road map one day (in any case, not for a while).
