debian:~# upsc ups
battery.charge: 100
battery.charge.low: 45
driver.name: powerpanel
driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2
driver.parameter.port: /dev/ttyS0
driver.version: 2.2.2
driver.version.internal: 0.23
input.frequency: 20.0

Working back from the driver, the UPS is reporting '50'. The conversion the driver does (dividing by 2.5 is apparently wrong). I was unsure about the logic behind this. A PR2200 running 120 V / 60 Hz was showing '150'. Apparently, we need to find the correct algorithm here.

input.frequency.nominal: 50
input.transfer.high: 147

Here the UPS protocol reports '0', which is an offset to the default transfer level that is configured for this UPS. This is now table based, but this is wrong. The UPS probably has two defaults (for 120 V and 230 V nominal respectively).

input.transfer.low: 88

Same as for the 'input.transfer.high'.

input.voltage: 176

This is shown as is, so apparently we need to apply a scaling and/or offset to get the correct reading (the protocol is only able to report values in the 0..255 range). I suspect that it will be the first (since this is easier to do in hardware), so this factor is likely close to (4/3) which would result in a corrected voltage of 234 V.

input.voltage.nominal: 230
output.voltage: 176

Same as for the 'input.voltage'.

output.voltage.nominal: 120

Here the UPS protocol reports '0', which is an offset to the default output voltage that is configured for this UPS. Most likely, this offset should be added to the 'input.voltage.nominal' value. Now it is value from a lookup table, which is quite wrong (you can probably set the output to 220, 230 and 240 V).

ups.beeper.status: enabled
ups.firmware: 1.100
ups.load: 24
ups.mfr: CyberPower
ups.model: PR3000E
ups.serial: [unknown]
ups.start.battery: yes
ups.status: OL
ups.temperature: 41

All in all it doesn't look too bad. There are a couple of readings that need correcting however, so the support status would be 'experimental' for now.

debian:~# upsrw -s input.transfer.high=129 -u local ups
Password:
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR ACCESS-DENIED
- I always get the following message when I try to use upsrw:
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR ACCESS-DENIED
- Tested values: "input.transfer.high" and "battery.charge.low"

This is unrelated to the driver. The user 'local' apparently has not been given access to change variables. See 'man 5 upsd.users' and 'man 5 upsd.conf' to give the user 'local' rights to do so.

debian:~# upscmd -u local ups test.failure.start
Password:
- upscmd seems to have no effect and doesn't return something...
- Tested values: "test.failure.start" and "test.failure.stop"

Same here as the above.

I tested manual failure test mode (directly with the button on the hardware)
and I also simulated a line failure and everything worked as expected (master
and slaves machines shutdown and UPS shutdown).

The above means that the driver is useable with the PR3000E but support is basic for now.

There should be a Linux driver available from CyberPower. This would help us in finding the correct defaults for the 'input.transfer.(high|low)'. Could you run that and post your findings here?

Best regards, Arjen
