I'm in need of a massive hardware upgrade...
I have UPS's that don't work for more than a minute -- dead
battery. But they are "dumb" boxes and want to replace them with
smarter units rather then getting new batteries. And I know
Debian is a slightly different OS in that it doesn't really "do"
the vendor binaries. Is there something that is well supported
and easily installed under Debian that I can use. Years ago I
purchased a Belkin UPS and found out later one that the binaries
don't work with all the UPS and linux combinations -- any one want
to guess what side of that line I fell on?
So -- what's a working combination of UPS and software? What to
avoid?
I have a Back-UPS LS 500 that uses the Debian apcupsd package.
It gets excellent support: http://www.apcupsd.org/
It also is a need of a new battery. And getting that in Oaxaca,
Mexico is quite another story.
