Eaton 5E 700 G2 compatibily

[vosatka]

Im reporting promising signs of compatibility with new Eaton UPS.

Hi @vosatka are these UPS (Eaton 5E Gen 2) fully compatible with nut? They are not listed in the compatible list right now.

[jimklimov]

"Fully" is a big word; absent a spec of everything they should be capable of (on program/signal) side and a state machine from a vendor, perhaps detailed per device model, hardware and firmware revisions, we can talk about sufficiently well supported for monitoring and some management.

Note that with work in PRs #2637, #2660 and some others being done "right now" (for the past few days), more device features can get detected, reported and tamed.

As for "compatible list", its maintenance takes time and is a sort of menial work that gets delayed compared to adding features and fixing bugs. The list would eventually grow (also happens now) as a result of reports like this one. There are by now a couple hundred tagged issues to sift through to update the list... (As ever, help is welcome).
