Hello,
I have a problem: after the lasts updates (Raspbian and Domoticz beta) the plugin stopped to work
if i check the status of the UPS via cli with upsc i can see all the parameter, but the plugin just give me a "comunication error" and do nothing more
here is the log of the plugin:

@Kender,

Apologies for the delayed response.
This may have to do with a bug in version 0.2.2 of the plugin, where when no authentication is set up the plugin did not update any child devices.
Can you please check if this error persists with version 0.2.3 that I just pushed to GitHub ?

[Kender]

I can't update
git command give me: error: "cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied"

[Logread]

I can't update
git command give me: error: "cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied"

You may want to delete the plugin folder and reinstall from scratch ?

[Kender]

I solved downlading only the plugin.py from the web page of Git.
I can tell you that the versione 2.3 work prefectly !!
Thank you very much !

Hello,

I use version 0.2.3 of UPS monitor plugin with Domoticz 4.9701.
My UPS server is on NAS DS214+ DSM 6.2.2-24922.

Without user/mdp, I read in domoticz logs : "Error: (Onduleur) Error reading UPS variables: ERR ACCESS-DENIED"
With user/mdp (monuser/secret or xxxxx), I read in domoticz logs "Error: (Onduleur) Authentication error: ('ERR ACCESS-DENIED')"

An idea ? I don't see the problem.

Did you add the IP address of the domoticz host to the whitelist in DSM (UPS tab in config) ?

@Dim33,

I cannot replicate the error you are seeing (I am running same version of DSM than yours, version 0.2.3 of the plugin and domoticz 4.10717 - the latest stable - on a Raspberry Pi). You may want to test using CLI NUT tools (upsc client if you are on linux) and see if you can connect ?

[Dim33]

Thanks Logread.

NUT Client is installed on my NUC (with Domoticz) and can't connect to UPS server.

Output of sudo upsc [email protected]

Code: Select all

Init SSL without certificate database
Error: Access denied

WinNUT is also installed on my PC and no problem !

[blackie]

Hi,
I consider to use this plugin, I have a local NUT installation on RPi->USB->APC UPS.
In my home the UPS comes onbattery maybe 2xday for 1-2s - short outages.
Can I use this plugin to get long-term statistics of such short outages or the plugin just reads the actual NUT data every 60s?
If not, I would like to use the local NUT server script triggered when outage occurres to update the UPS sensors. Can this be done somehow with the plugin sensors?

Hello,

I try to use this plugin, but I don't manage.
Fresh installation of pi 3, latest raspios :

The plugin is in the plugin directory, I restart domoticz, everything is OK. I add the hardware, UPS Monitor type, correct credentials, then the user interface crash. When I check the service :

I delete the NUT plugin directory then restart domoticz, it's OK. In the log :

2020-11-15 20:57:38.198 Error: (NUT_UPS) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was ':/usr/lib/python37.zip:/usr/lib/python3.7:/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload:/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages'.

After an alternative python3.4 install, I tried to modify this path adding in the plugin.py :

import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python3.4')

No success... same error in log.

If anyone could help...

[Logread]

@xavbzh,

Did you try other python plugins ? This looks to me as a python issue rather than a plugin issue... some search might help you as I think there are many posts on similar issues on the forum

[ikkezelf]

I had to install the python-dev for the hardware tot popup in the pull-down list.
I'm using a APC-UPS

it's working fine now, If I want to show more variables, I just have to edit the .py script ?

[ikkezelf]

expanding the plugin script succeeded.
However I have installed all on my slave pi. Now as I want to make the devices visible on the master pi, they don't seem to be adde as new devices on the master.
Any idea why these are not recognised as devices from the slave? (and yes I included them as available for the logged in user).

Hi,
It's a known issue. Domoticz feature for synchronization (Domoticz remote server) doesn't work for devices created and updated by a plugin. As you, I've installed this plugin on my backup server. To synchronize my main server, I use my own replication system (see viewtopic.php?f=38&t=24088)

Hi to All,

I succefully use UPS Monitor Plugin but there is one thing I would like to change which is the UPS runtime information from seconds to minutes.

Can anyone give ma a hint what to change in plugin.py file ?

BR.

[FireWizard]

Hi, @ilex

You can change line 49, in plugin.py

(self.pollinterval = 60 #Time in seconds between two polls)

Currently the pollinterval = 60 seconds.
You can change that to another value, but it has to be in seconds.

Regards

[ilex]

I am not sure if I have made myself clear.

I want in Domoticz the UPS runtime to be displayed in minutes (not in seconds as it is now)
