Jim, would an upgrade to the install on my rpi4b running a medium
sized 80+ yo lathe give me better control over a:
device.mfr: CPS
device.model: CP625HGa
device.type: ups
driver.name: usbhid-ups
driver.parameter.offdelay: 120
where that offdelay seems hard coded. The 625WA rating could run that
pi for t least an hour, but it chops it off in 2 minutes.
currently running 2.7.4 on raspios buster.
I think nut only works with lathes made after 1969 :-)
But seriously, a lot has been fixed/added since 2.7.4.
As I understand it, offdelay is about the time delta from telling the
ups to shut down until it kills power, so the OS can sync disks. I have
a 90s UPS with a 10s delay and nut does not try to shut down until I get
a lowbattery indication, so I get 30 minutes of runtime with graceful
stop, vs maybe 40-something without nut to empty/hard-off.
Is your UPS shutting down without nut telling it to?
Yes. At 2 minutes it cuts everything off. It hasn't trashed a u-sd yet,
but it is a possibility.
I went w/o a standby for a couple months last fall after the computer in
a 20kw generac went out, found the phone at generac was no longer being
answered so I changed the label on the pad to Kohler. Starts right up
now. So outages here are 8 second events again.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
