ADD Eaton Powerstation UPS support for connectivity through USB

by openfred ‎02-10-2012 08:17 AM - edited ‎02-10-2012 08:19 AM

Hi,

 

Like already some UPS are supported on Linkstation Pro with a connection through USB to control the shutdown process, I would like to extend this support to the following UPS equipment:

- Eaton PowerStation (model 600 and 800)

 

According to Linux documentation on Nut module, it seems compatible with that UPS model. But is more than likely the version in the Buffalo Linkstation is outdated compared to the one available.

So could it be possible to update the modules that refer to the UPS support through USB (probably refering to package nut and nut-usb) ?

 

It seems that even on the web, some people made it but through direct access to the Firmware, while I would like this is being done within the "official" firmware instead: see http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Install_a_UPS_(nut)

 

Regards,

Frederic
