Configuring NUT server on APC SMT750IC more sensors

[platini76]

hello I configured nut on my APC SMT750IC with this config… don’t know if this is correct:

`users:

• username: XXXXX password: XXXXX instcmds:
  • all actions: [] devices:
• name: SmartUPS driver: usbhid-ups port: auto config:
  • vendorid = 051d mode: netserver shutdown_host: "true" `

and I have only these sensors: no input voltage, no output voltage, no load, no controls…

can I have more on this UPS?

or someone can suggest me a better ups?

i see that other apc ups like 900 and 1000 has load and voltage infos... why 750 not?

I would try to guess this is HomeAssistant, and so NUT v2.7.4 (pretty old now), but generally these things should not be guessed by readers ;)

Regarding info and controls, it may be that this is among APC models which all but dropped USB HID support and went for modbus, a driver for which is not currently implemented in NUT => #139

Do you have a chance to build NUT to test if a modern version supports your device better (if the problem is not Modbus), and iterate from there? See https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests

sorry I cannot build.. I am a noob on this ...

[jimklimov]

We have all started somewhere :) It is fun ;)

[platini76]

it seems the problem is 2.7.2 or 2.7.4 how to update to latest version in homeassistant?

[jimklimov]

As far as I know - build one. Someone contributed this article: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-integration-for-Home-Assistant

Might help to raise the question on HA support forums, so maybe someone would issue a newer plugin "officially"...

[platini76]

maybe... i did not find the nut folder in my installation ahahhaha
