Broader UPS support

[bliemeister]

I really like your product, but it would be easier to convince people to use it, if there would be a broader UPS manufacturer support.

Right now it comes down to APC.

Support for the Eaton product range would be really appreciated. After all they are the one part follow up of MGE. The other is, oh yes, APC. So this leads to just one supported manufacturer right now.

DSS uses apcupsd and NUT.

how bout eaton?

[bliemeister]

NUT is a perfect solution. Most of the relevant UPSs are supported. How can I configure them. Because the only options I find are MGE UPSs. This should lead to the assumption usbhid should not be a problem. But what about bcmxcp or bcmxcp? Are all usbhid configs the same or is there a best guess?

To enable NUT, choose MGE as UPS vendor and UM-Link (SNMP)
as UPS model. This should work with APC UPS with network
management card.
