        Regarding the synology quiescent mode, I am not sure about this. I just have my settings same as server on
        time before server enters standby mode under the UPS tab of the synology. Would gladly check it if you could
        show me how. Perhaps under var/log/messages on synology?

        Do i put this line in the ups conf or in the extra arguments to driver to control ther power off delay?

        ups.delay.shutdown = 120
        

        or is it,

        offdelay = 120
        

        in Extra Arguments to driver

        or should i issue this command via the cli?

        upsrw -s ups.delay.shutdown =120

        Is there way of making the soscomec shutdown immediately just for testing purposes? Since the scomec is 2 kva, it may
        take forever for it to shutdown wtih just the Pi as its load. Mindful of your advice to use igbnorelb only when UPS
        declares battery immediately after the mains fail?

        Luckily, I did read your post on why not to run nut master on synology...

        Thank you very much

          Standby mode is quiescent mode. Older version of Synology would actually power off, now they just shut down all the services and sit there.

          This.

          You can instruct the UPS to power off immediately via a NUT command, but that's different than the UPS declaring LB (Low Battery).

                This.

                upsrw -s ups.delay.shutdown =120
                

                doesn 't seem to persist across reboots. The ups dealy shutdown goes back to the deafualt value of 30. should i use the ..

                offdelay = 120
                

                in ExtraArgument to driver instead? This one seem to persist across reboots.

                Thank you again.

                  Can you clarify what you mean by "Across reboots"?

                  Does this refer to the reboot of the OS? Or reboot of the UPS? Or the restart of the NUT daemon or NUT UPS driver?

                    Restarting the Daemon successfully showed the delay shutdown at 120 but not when you reboot the OS.

                      Okay, that's kinda weird. Only thing I can think of would be that the UPS is reseting when the USB resets. You can confirm by pulling the USB cable out for a 5-10 seconds, and then plugging it back in.

                      [Edit: By "restarting the Daemon" you mean completely restarting NUT, yes?]

                        @dennypage I apologize, this is what i did...

                        upsrw -s ups.delay.shutdown =120
                        

                        and immediately the delay shutdown was set to 120 without me restarting nut with the circular arrow on the top right corner of pfsense. But the moment i hit that arrow the delay shutdown goes back to its original value of 30. Rebooting pfsense would still show the value at 30. I must be doing something wrong or not understanding something. Thank you very much

                          Apologies for the delay, I've been busy/offline.

                          So I expect what is happening is that the NUT driver is resetting the shutdown delay on start, even though you have not specified a value. Lots of little quirks like this in NUT drivers.

                          So yes, I would recommend setting the offdelay parameter in the Extra Arguments to driver section. You can confirm that it is correctly setting the value in the UPS by using the upsrw command to read from the UPS after restarting NUT.
