I'm still working on the interface to the UPS we're selling. USB works great with NUT in Linux, and natively through Windows battery support. Now I'm looking over the serial protocol. I can essentially make it anything I want, and it's VERY tempting to make my own protocol that is intuitive and simple, but I have a feeling every UPS maker does that. So, before I do that...is there a good, simple, robust protocol in use in multiple UPS's out there that is somewhat well documented that I could support instead? It would probably make integrating NUT/serial easier as well.
I looked at what seemed to be some generic serial drivers in NUT, but the commands supported and response patterns didn't make a lot of sense to me....though I'm not sure how much it really matters if the serial protocol is "readable" to a human. Thanks. Rob Groner
