Hi all,

I have exchanged my trusty old APC unit to a newer version.

https://www.apc.com/shop/pk/en/products/APC-Smart-UPS-C-1000VA-LCD-RM-2U-230V/P-SMC1000I-2U

The new unit is serving my needs and power requirements well, although i noticed important statistics are not visualized by the APC daemon.

Nominal Power, UPS Load and UPS Load % are missing.

I have researched the forum but couldn't find an answer. The APC daemon is obviously not getting any updates anymore. NUT is behaving the same way.

Is there any way to tweak something in APC Daemon? My UPS is not supporting firmware updates so it cannot be solved this way from the UPS side.

Will appreciate any tips.

 

Unraid Pro 6.8.3 version.

 

 

i have a similar issue. so much for getting actual APC UPSs to work right with the APC Daemon

apcupsd is not affiliated with APC, it's a third party program that tries to work with as many UPS models as possible.

 

Try NUT, it's a similar situation but sometimes some models work better with it.

NUT?  Is that a driver for UPSs? where would a fella get that?

Try enable the MODBUS protocol or other method in below post.

I'm not sure if this will help some of you with APC 3000 hardware. After enabling ModBus (On the UPS, and in settings) I HAD to physically disconnect the USB cable before nominal power rendered. I bet I wasted hours trying permutations of things, and in the end that's all I had to do.
