Also note that this unit is supported through USB, but recent
SmartUPS (for ~ 3 years) use a new serial protocol, called
microlink, which is not supported in NUT (nor in any other
opensource solution).
Is that true for the SmartUPS 1000 VA (
http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=sua1000i
) ? I plan to buy one next week and if it's not supported by nut (
or apcupsd in case of emergency ) I'll go shopping something else
AFAICT, "newer" (since ~3 years) APC unit using the microlink for
serial communication are not supported anywhere.
Binary protocol, not documented, nor reverse engineered (yet).

Another reading (search for "Do Not Purchase The Following UPSes"):
http://www.apcupsd.com/
Apcupsd works with microlink UPS's, but only the most basic status info
is provided. It's not the microlink protocol it's working with, but some
other basic communication mode those UPS's provide. You can get full
info back by purchasing the legacy communications card.
Does NUT not work in a similar way with these UPS's?
