Thanks Joe!!!

Excellent. Thanks!

Hi Joe,

Thank you for building this plugin, however, I have a 'false positive' problem with the plugin.
Once, twice a day the plugin thinks the UPS does not have a battery, thus triggering. UPS model is CyberPower VP1600ELCD, connected through usb.

Plugin is the 2023.0.0, is there some kind of debug setting or extra log option that I can turn on to find out more than the below?
Triggers and debug messages are mine of course.

Code: Select all

2024-04-03 17:55:22.612   UPS and Battery Monitor      Power Status    - AC Power - No Battery
2024-04-03 17:55:22.612   UPS and Battery Monitor      UPS Model       - No Battery or UPS

2024-04-03 17:55:22.617   debug   UPS on battery

Thank you for any suggestions or advice.

Kind regards, Gerrit Jan

That response is what the plugin reports when it gets an error polling the OS for the battery status (command line "pmset -g batt"). That's kinda a bogus way to do the error reporting, but I didn't originally write this and I never changed it.

Open an issue in the GitHub repo for this plugin and I'll see if I can figure out a better way to do the error reporting.
