hi,
i own a aeg protect home (think it is a 600 VA) which has a serial and
an usb port.
using this hack in ups.conf:
[bestupsname]
driver = bestups
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
ID = FOR,750,230,230,11.0,13.5
desc = "home-server"
i start the driver with:
./bestups -a bestupsname -D -q
and after adding some debugging it seems to work (not yet in
production). i first started by looking at the protocol and it is very
very similar to www.networkupstols.org/ups-protocols/megatec.html at
least protocol wise.
but i have a few problems
==== problem 1 ====
using FOR is wrong as it then reports as a different device than it
actually is. should i add a new device string, say APH?
==== problem 2 ====
i would like to use the usb protocol but i don't know where to start.

maybe there exists such an implementation for usb already. last time i
implemented the protecthome driver i found bestups to be what i actually
wanted but then i already invested a lot of time in writing protecthome.c;
=== summary ===
maybe someone can help me with this problems. i will post a spec of what
i have found so far in my blog soon.
thanks in advance
