New package Apcupsd is available.
-
Before, We had just one field to be filled: UPS Type / Device.
Now, We have Device field separated.For pcnet config, parameters need to be just on UPS Type field.
With snmp, the parameters need to be on device field.How was your config before the upgrade?

Hello!
Love the UPS monitoring feature; very nice!
Question/request though - it is possible to get email notifications when the power is cut out?
Thanks!
Hi.
You need to configure smtp email notifications on pfSense and install mailreport package (just install it).
After that, apcupsd will send email alerts to you. -

Config was as attached (of course service was enabled; I disabled it for now since I am using NUT). All other settings are left at default.

When you have a chance, on UPSType / Device put just "usb" and try again.

Unfortunately that did not help :\ still have the same problem:
2014-04-11 13:58:04 -0700 Lock file data error: X���� 2014-04-11 13:58:04 -0700 apcupsd FATAL ERROR in apcupsd.c at line 285 Failed to acquire device lock file 2014-04-11 13:58:04 -0700 Lock file data error: ؋B 2014-04-11 13:58:04 -0700 apcupsd error shutdown completed
-
Could you collect all the log?
On Diagnostics –> Command Prompt
cat /var/log/apcupsd.events
Use a pastebin like pastebin.ca
Thank you.

In /var/run - apcupsd.pid does not exist :\

remove this LCK and restart the service, please

Yup! That did it!
Thanks!!!
Now - the email functionality; I presume there's nothing to modify or change, right? Once it goes on battery power - an email is automatically dispatched?

Ok thanks.
I've sent a PR for adding apcupsd on pfSense 2.3.
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/128
On pfSense 2.3 the problem with emails won't happening. ;D
-
Rockin…I am thinking I will have to install it.
-
Are there plans to make Apcupsd available for PfSense 2.3.x ?
Sorry, forget my question above. I overlooked that you are already working on that. Great!
Greetings

Just posting to show interest.. Used this on a older install, immediately went to look for it on this new install and was sad when I didn't see it..
Appreciate your work on this.
