pi@rpi4:/media/pi/workspace $ upsrw myups [battery.charge.low] Remaining battery level when UPS switches to LB (percent) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 10 [battery.runtime.low] Remaining battery runtime when UPS switches to LB (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 300 [input.transfer.high] High voltage transfer point (V) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 0 [input.transfer.low] Low voltage transfer point (V) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 0 [ups.delay.shutdown] Interval to wait after shutdown with delay command (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 120 [ups.delay.start] Interval to wait before (re)starting the load (seconds) Type: STRING Maximum length: 10 Value: 0 > and "upscmd -l myups"? pi@rpi4:/media/pi/workspace $ upscmd -l myups Instant commands supported on UPS [myups]: beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute) beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable) load.off - Turn off the load immediately load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds) load.on - Turn on the load immediately load.on.delay - Turn on the load with a delay (seconds) shutdown.return - Turn off the load and return when power is back shutdown.stayoff - Turn off the load and remain off shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress test.battery.start.deep - Start a deep battery test test.battery.start.quick - Start a quick battery test test.battery.stop - Stop the battery test Which looks very incomplete to me. OTOH, its not a very big UPS but neither is the pi. I have tested that, and it shuts off long before it outouts a LB signal. But as the old saw says, its not my job to blow the whistle. I'm just happy that it protects the pi while the Generac is being started. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
