APCupsd package status for pfSense
-
So is there any chance for this to ever be approved ?
-
NUT itself supports talking with a remote apcupsd instance, although the existing NUT package does not support the configuration. I am working on a new version of the NUT package which will support have support for this configuration. I do not have an eta, but in the interim you could hand edit the files in /usr/local/etc/nut.
Is there anyway to get NUT working with an APC UPS that's running apcupsd driver rather than directly USB to pfsense box?

I fixed it for now with configuring NUT the following way:
- Choose Local UPS
- Local UPS Name: <insert name="" here="">- Local UPS model: APC SmartUPS USB
- Local UPS Port: Auto
Save these settings.
Then go to diagnostics > Edit file.
load the folloing file: /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf
change the driver and port settings to the following:
driver=apcupsd-ups
port= <hostname of="" your="" system="" where="" apcupsd="" runs="">Save the file.
Start the NUT service.This works for me.
</hostname></insert> -
The new NUT package is available for testing if you are interested:
