Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've finally gotten around to setting up the netbook that controls
my UPS and I would like to make sure that I've got the metacode
correct before configuring nut :)<br>
<br>
Here's what I've got:<br>
Belkin UPS F6C120auUNV<br>
<ul>
<li>Batteries recently replaced</li>
<li>On battery: 24 port switch, PoE AP, antenna power booster,
ADSL modem, MythTV server, 19" monitor</li>
<li>
On surge protection: Netbook (details below)</li>
<li>I would like the UPS to turn off at 20% battery capacity</li></ul></div></blockquote><div>I'm assuming the "120" means "1200 VA", like this model:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/~buildbot/cayman/docs/latest/ddl/Belkin/Universal_UPS_F6C120-UNV.html">http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/~buildbot/cayman/docs/latest/ddl/Belkin/Universal_UPS_F6C120-UNV.html</a></div><div><br></div>Depending on the UPS settings, you might be able to use upsrw to directly tell the UPS to shut off at 20%, or you might need the "ignorelb" flag:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html">http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html</a><br><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><ul>
</ul>
Netbook with Debian 7.7.0, <br>
<ul>
<li>Attached via USB to Belkin UPS</li>
<li>Battery in netbook lasts three hours, it will outlast the UPS
by a fair way, so does not need UPS battery supply</li>
<li>‘master’ where upsd runs</li>
<li>runs upsc, upsd, upsmon, upsc, nut-cgi, apache, nagios<br></li></ul></div></blockquote><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div>Seems reasonable. One question which you may have already answered: what if the UPS battery gets to 20% and upsmon signals a shutdown - how does the netbook know how to turn back on later?</div><div><br></div><div>If the netbook doesn't have a way to boot back up automatically when the power comes back, you might be able to find a cheap SBC or WiFi router with a USB port, that can run NUT and act as the master. (A few people have discussed using a Raspberry Pi for this.)</div><div><br></div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
MythTV server with Ubuntu 14.04<br>
<ul>
<li>plugged into Belkin UPS</li>
<li>to be turned off within 5 minutes of loss of supply</li>
<li>to be turned back on after 15 minutes of return of supply
(WOL?)<br>
</li>
<li>2xSSD drives, 1x4Tb 3.5”, 1x250Gb 2.5”</li>
<li>‘slave’ system</li>
</ul>
I'm digging through the nut documentation now, I'm sure that I can
configure nut to do all of this... right?<br></div></blockquote><br></div><div>I think you want upsmon to trigger upssched for the "off after 5 minutes" requirement. I don't use upssched myself; hopefully someone else can offer help if needed. If nothing else, we do have source code :-)</div><div><br></div><div>The soft shutdown/WOL part seems possible.</div><br><div>
