I have not got the megatec_usb working and talking to upsd.
The upsc command gives<br><br>
battery.charge: 95.0<br>
battery.voltage: 27.00<br>
battery.voltage.nominal: 24.0<br>
driver.name: megatec_usb<br>
driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2<br>
driver.parameter.port: auto<br>
driver.version: 2.1.0<br>
driver.version.internal: 1.5<br>
input.frequency: 50.0<br>
input.voltage: 248.0<br>
input.voltage.fault: 140.0<br>
input.voltage.maximum: 248.0<br>
input.voltage.minimum: 246.5<br>
output.voltage: 248.0<br>
output.voltage.nominal: 240.0<br>
ups.beeper.status: disabled<br>
ups.delay.shutdown: 0<br>
ups.delay.start: 2<br>
ups.load: 11.0<br>
ups.mfr: UIS AblerexAble<br>
ups.model: ex USB Int rface 049e<br>
ups.serial: unknown<br>
ups.status: OL<br>
ups.temperature: 25.0<br><br>
I know the 'mfr' and 'model' fields are wrong. I may look at that
next.<br>
I have implemented the following commands.<br>
Q1<x-tab> </x-tab>Status Inquiry<br>
Q<x-tab> </x-tab>Turn on/off
beep (not sure this is working correctly)<br>
C<x-tab> </x-tab>Cancel shutdown
command<br>
T<x-tab> </x-tab>10 second
test<br>
I<x-tab> </x-tab>UPS Information
Command (still needs work)<br>
F<x-tab> </x-tab>UPS Rating
Information<br><br>
Regards<br>

I don't think that kind of functionality belongs in the driver. The<br>
driver should limit itself to reading information and sending
commands<br>
to the UPS. Decisions about when and how to shut down should be left<br>
to upsmon, which does it uniformly for all drivers.<br><br>
