Hi,
Is it normal for all the UPS variables to be have 00860035 concatenated 
to them? a quick example of this follows :

entering identify_ups(0x050d, 0x0012)

Found a Belkin UPS!
upsdrv_updateinfo...

Looking up 00860035
Object: UPS.PowerSummary.Discharging00860035 = 0
upsdrv_updateinfo...
Waiting for notifications...
 ok

....

and this keeps repeating with the remaining variables...

I am guessing that the RemainingCapacity value is correct since I 
connected this UPS to a different box running Win2k and using Belkin's own 
software, it gave me that reading as well(if I remember correctly).

I thought of mapping those variables to the ones in NUT so I 
tried adding them to the HID<->NUT mappings in belkin-hid.h  but it 
didn't work:

{"battery.charge", 0, 1,"UPS.PowerSummary.RemainingCapacity0x00860035", 
	NULL, "%.0f", HU_FLAG_OK, NULL },

Anyone knows of the correct way to do this?

Thanks,

Zaid
