Will this UPS unit work well?

[michmoor]

Hey everyone,
For personal use, i have a UPS sitting in my basement that i have the home network connected to.

Link is here Cyberpower

For those who dont want to click the link: CYBERPOW 1500VAGAMEUPS PFC/LCD/AVR

So question is, can I use NUT for this?
Additionally, looks like i may need a USB Type A port which i would need to dig up but is there any issue here before i purchase some usb cables?

I use the same UPS and it works fine with NUT.

@jeff3820 wow talk about good timing...I got my USB cable plugged in on the back of the unit and connected to the pfsense. Not working for me so far.

Resolved...Had to reboot the PFsense. Yikes..

@michmoor If you're running pfSense+ 23.01 you might be running into a bug in NUT. See this post for a workaround.

@michmoor My CyberPower has been stable with the NUT workaround from the thread I referred to previously.
