In
docs/new-drivers.txt
section onStatus data
aka https://networkupstools.org/docs/developer-guide.chunked/new-drivers.html#_status_data we define a number of possible values.There is a fair amount of (sub-)drivers and maybe mappings which set something else, e.g. per #2494 (comment)
nutdrv_qx_voltronic.c
sets values like!OL
instead of (presumably)OB
.A related separate issue #2495 is lack of a standard value for "ECO mode" altogether, while it is becoming popular with hardware and wants a consistent name.
While at it, there was also a discussion on ML recently about introducing a status name for "hover charging" (when batteries are kept not at 100% by always charging, but "hover" in a safe zone, e.g. only charging as they drop to some 90%, to conserve chemistry life/cycles - which would often be seen as "OL DISCHRG") which is what
"HB"
status might have meant or not, historically. We did not come up with a consistent name for the concept at the time, though: most of the search hits came up with charging of hoverboards :) => https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2024-May/007989.htmlThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
