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 17:55:22.612	UPS and Battery Monitor		Charging Status - False
2024-04-03 17:55:22.612	UPS and Battery Monitor		Battery Charge  - 00
2024-04-03 17:55:22.612	UPS and Battery Monitor	Refreshing in 1 Minutes
2024-04-03 17:55:22.616	Trigger	Indigo UPS battery level < 30%
2024-04-03 17:55:22.616	Trigger	UPS power status change!!!
2024-04-03 17:55:22.617	Trigger	UPS on battery!!!
2024-04-03 17:55:22.617	Trigger	Indigo UPS change!
2024-04-03 17:55:22.617	debug	UPS change!!!
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.

Thank you for all your plug in work!
I have about 10 batteries in my Indigo devices and wonder if your UPS/Battery plugin would be a solution to report periodically the batteries status and/or alarm when one of the battery is too weak
Thank you for letting me know

No, that plugin only works with a UPS attached to the Indigo computer.

Check this plugin: https://www.indigodomo.com/pluginstore/112/

In it, you can create a battery watch device which will report on low battery states.

Thank you so much, will check and install it!!
