    [6.9.0 betas & 6.9.1] Apcupsd issue when booting

    in Prereleases

    Posted

    Much water have flown under the bridges and I'm finaly serverside again.

     

    I tried the USB-RS232 adapter so kindly suggested by @DigitalMaestro and @Gnomuz. Unraid rightly identifies the device 

    root@:/mnt/user/appdata# lsusb
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0781:5571 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer Fit
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:0029 Intel Corp. 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 06cd:0121 Keyspan USA-19hs serial adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

     

    I'm having problems finding the right settings for the UPS deamond, BUT my bigger problem is that I'll get the original problem where the device path keeps on changing. I started at 002, but keeps changing one up: 

    root:/mnt/user/appdata# ls /dev/bus/usb/
001/  002/  003/  004/  005/  006/

     

    I think adding a PCI serial port card is my next move. Just hope it'll arrive before I have to leave again.

    I'm also waiting for the last part of a PiKWM-switch. I have high hopes for that to be a lifesaving device for my situation where I seldom are server side and have to cross four country boarders to be near my baby 😐

    Ok @Gnomuz, I would have given up a looong time ago. Which is exactly what I did. Big thanks for keeping at it because when I got the Unraid Ultimate Dashboard up and running that incorrect UPS reporting started bugging me again and this time I found this bugreport. Reading it was a roller-coaster ride between hope and despair :-|

     

    I can report that I have exactly the same problem with APC Smart-UPS 1500 (SMC1500IC), manufactured Jul 18, 2020 and equipped with FW V. 03.5. (running Unraid 6.9.0)

    I got the same nonsense numbers when trying to use ModBus as UPS type and I get Server Alert that Unraid lost communication with UPS and then directly that it's restored again.

     

    Running your recipe with unplugging USB, restarting daemon and then reattaching USB got those sweet correct numbers I never seen before but they do not survive a reboot.
