Ok, now I receive something. sending 'b' returns 'CF' or 'D0'. 'Y' as expected 'SM' 'm', 'n' nothing 'Y' is '6FI' (sounds valid) 'a' returns 'D1' (not a long string) and 'D2' if 'Y' was send before. Not sure if that might help, I wonder how many commands are not supported.. I hope there is somebody else with a similar UPS who has some inforamtions for me. Would be cool if My UPS would be supported by Nut so if you need specific informations just let Me know. -- Regards, Christian Ruppert
