      I've been testing my CyberPower UPS with the NUT package for UPS management and noticed it is not shutting down my XG-7100 as expected. Looking at the documentation that is out there, it is a bit confusing. Does anyone have knowledge of this? I just want the UPS to power down my firewall if the battery gets too low. I do have the UPS connected via USB to my firewall.

        I don't know if it's the same issue, but I found neither NUT or APCUPSD worked with my new APC UPS, but worked with my old one. The same new UPS works fine with Linux. Apparently there's a difference in the newer models that the FreeBSD under pfSense doesn't work with.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          It seems to be reporting status correctly. And I do only let it run for a minute or two before I plug it back in (afraid to let the pfSense appliance turn off without being shut down).
