Hi: I got a new APC SRT3000XL and tested the new driver "apc_modbus". the ups works fine with nut+apcupsd. the new driver "apc_modbus" has result below: 1. upsrw can write the variable "battery.date". but the new value will only show after restarting apc_modbus. and in my case the written data will shift one day. eg the command "upsrw -s battery.date=2023-09-13" will return "2023-09-12" later. 2. the upscmd power-off related commands (like load.*, outlet.*, shutdown.*) can not work. so it can not shutdown the ups. (I think this is the most important feature which needs to be fixed) 3. upscmd command works: beeper.mute, bypass.start, bypass.stop, test.battery.start, test.battery.stop, test.panel.start 4. I can't attach any load so I can not test calibrate.start. but I found the new driver seems missing an import item which apcupsd have: "ups.test.result" below are some raw data: > data read from
