In addition, do ask them to publish the spec for both wiring of their cables and the set of commands that their UPS understands. Even if they deliberately do not reveal those details I believe that the least that can and should be done is to ask them politely for it. Let them know that their customers are also interested in their full hardware spec, and that things like communication protocol is elementary. Once the specs are known it shouldn't be too hard to add it to existing free UPS software like http://www.exploits.org/nut . -- Shaul Karl email: shaulka(at-no-spam)bezeqint.net Please substitute (at-no-spam) with an at - @ - character.
