Hello,
I have got a APC Back-UPS ES 500 and its got Data port (so that we can connect it to computer and do power management). APC provides a software named PowerChute for this purpose. I could find this software for windows only.
Is there any other software available for the same purpose which we can install in debian (raspbian)?
Thanks,
Simon Mandy

Re: APC PowerChute for raspberry pi.
There is an open source project to provide a PowerChute like program for APC UPS.
Link to source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/power/f ... 0.2.tar.gz
Check it out and see if it meets your requirements.

If it ain't broke, take it apart and see how it works.
Re: APC PowerChute for raspberry pi.
I downloaded that and extracted. Now I have a folder named powerd-2.0.2 and so many files under it (looks like source code). As usual I did 'make' and got error message "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

A quick Google brings up apcupsd (UPS software for APC on armel Debian Squeeze, Wheezy or sid).

Standard open source method. cd into the source directory then:sim_tcr wrote:I downloaded that and extracted.

How do install the program?
Code: Select all
./configure
make install
The make install will build the software and install it.
After the install finishes, you can do a
Code: Select all
man powerd
to see how to use it.

Re: APC PowerChute for raspberry pi.
Have you tried installing Network UPS Tools (apt-get install nut)? This should work with the ES 500 using the usbhid-ups driver.sim_tcr wrote:Hello,

NUT will monitor the status of the UPS over USB, and shut down the host device when the UPS switches to on battery and/or when the battery is low (typically 10% run time remaining, though this is configurable). Any other networked devices that are running the nut-client (there is a Windows version available) would be considered as slaves to the Pi UPS "master", and would be instructed by the Pi over the network to gracefully shutdown when required, so you can UPS protect multiple devices using NUT with your ES 500.
