Yes, this is sometimes called contact-closure. NUT have a driver named 'genericups' for this. Many ups'es use this. The may have a 'smart' protocol that gives some info like load and voltage, but also a contact-closure setup. If you read the man page for the genericups you get a hint how to set this up. /Kjell _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
