HOWTO

Test configuration

apctest

Shutdown when communication with UPS is lost

Look for 'commfailure' and apccontrol script, but looks like a bad plan.

Apcupsd using SNMP

On the UPS enable SNMP and have a community (for example public) with read access.

In /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf:

UPSCABLE ether
UPSTYPE snmp
DEVICE 192.168.188.12:161:APC:public

After starting apcupsd check it with

apcaccess

(this can be run as non-root) This only works with

NETSERVER on

FAQ

acpaccess does not provide info like TIMELEFT

apt install snmp
