Hi there. I’m running into some difficulty with understanding what needs to happen in order to migrate existing NUT clients off of their existing monitoring server and into HA, and could use some assistance with the process.
First things first: HA is 0.108.2; remote UPS monitors are RasPi Zero Ws running NUT under Raspbian Stretch. The configuration on the RasPis has been in place for roughly 3 years and works reliably.
What I would like to happen is that these NUT clients either report their status in to HA or are polled for it. My understanding of how NUT works in HA seems to be hampering this, though.
So far, a NUT integration has been created in HA. It’s pointed at one of the NUT clients, from which it will successfully get whatever status info it has been configured to get. However, I’m not sure how to add in the other NUT clients - I can’t add another NUT integration since one already exists, and trying to use the alias field as suggested in the documentation hasn’t worked out.
Additionally, no UPS is directly attached to the VMWare ESXi box that HA runs on, so it’s not clear as to what should happen with the device configuration for NUT in HA. Config currently appears as follows:
users: - username: redacted password: redacted instcmds: - all actions: - set devices: - name: myups driver: usbhid-ups port: auto config: [] mode: netserver shutdown_host: 'false'TIA for any assistance - the UPSes are actually a pretty big part of why we’re migrating from Domoticz to HA, and I’m really looking forward to getting this part of things up and running.
