Hi
When purchasing a new UPS, one of the major functionalities I would
assess, is the support is has by NUT.
We have the http://www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html page, where
we can see if a UPS is supported, and what the level is.
But I would really like to have more knowledge.
I would like to know how the output from the "upsc" looks, so I know
what values I will get from the UPS using NUT.
For example, does the UPS report "time left on battery", "time to
charge", "ups.load", "date and time" etc, etc.
I think it would be nice to have a web page (somewhere, I do not know
where), for each UPS model, listing the output of "upsc", which can be
supplied by NUT users having the hardware.
This has proven valuable for me for example when buying laptops, then I
always use thinkwiki.org, to check what is supported on linux for a
specific laptop model,
for example like this http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W510 and
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W530.
Do other NUT users miss knowing exactly how the upsc output will look
for a UPS model ?
Does anyone have opinions on where we could record such information ?
Should it be one page per model, or one page per driver with a section
for each model ?
I am particularly interested in knowing how the output is from UPSes
handled by the general usb driver in NUT.
Do they report enough info so one can see / calculate the power usage of
the UPS ?
For example, the
http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/5P.aspx, can
I expect to get info about energy metering using "upsc" ?
