Hello, <br>
<br>
I'm trying to get an energenie EG-UPS-033
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://energenie.com/item.aspx?id=8087">http://energenie.com/item.aspx?id=8087</a>) to work with nut. It
standard comes with linux software (UPSmart), which shows the
input/output voltage, load level, input frequency. and battery and
case temperature. The values change about every second. The selected
monitor mode in this tool is Mega(USB). The bad thing of this tool
that it requires an X server, and does not provide a command line
version. <br>
<br>
with NUT, I am able to connect to the UPS using the blazer_usb and
nutdrv_qx. However, the reported values are constant, and only
change if I run the UPSmart tool (It can run in parallel). What can
I do to get NUT to receive updated values?<br>
I already tried the various subdrivers, and langid_fix , but to no
avail. <br>
<br>
Is there a way to sniff the USB communication of the UPSmart? <br>
<br>
<br>
thanks a lot for your help,<br>
Marc<br>
<br>
here my details:<br>
