APC UPS Widget

the temperature does not appear even with this model

I guess not every model reports to apcupsd a temperature.
I have here a APC Back-UPS CS 350 and the temperature is reported but is invariant at "ITEMP : 29.2 C"
IMHO

Seams that your UPS is not reporting the "OUTPUTV" to apcupsd ...

The widget can only show what is reported in "Status information from apcupsd"

As I stated in my post before: The widget can only show what is reported in "Status information from apcupsd"
If a value is missing the widget shows "N/A"

ok I understand.
It seems strange to me, however, that two new APC UPSs, of two different and modern models, do not transmit these values.

Maybe "apcupsd" needs some updating

The values that are transmitted depends on the firmware of the UPS

Yes could be possible that actual apcupsd cannot read some values that come from the UPS firmware ...

It does that if you reset the battery date manually. No I don't know why. Some sort of parsing error it looks like. Copy down the values first, as you found.

I don't quite understand what I should do

@Unoptanio Sorry if I was confusing, I was just trying to provide more info to the thread on those weird errors. You seem to be past that already so I wasn't suggesting you do anything in particular.

I saw the same, but didn't ever reset the battery date manually with apcupsd.

The UPS was management with the APC software on Windows before. I guess, I set the battery date with this, when I replaced it.

If you like to experiment you can use this Widget:
APC Widget

You have to copy it to

/usr/local/www/widgets/widgets

and after that you can add it to the dashboard ...
