I got as far as plugging the UPS USB in but any tutorial I find assumes stuff just works. I have no idea if my UPS is even compatible, if I need drivers, or anything else. It should at least be compatible because I can get data from it from hwinfo

No matter what tutorial I follow, nothing works for me

"Nothing works" isn't very helpful, what have you all tried? What model is your UPS?

Are you going to plan on using APCUPSD?

I got as far as downloading the NUT addon and tried the integration but it's asking for an ip address I don't have

#

If you're talking about just setting up the integration, that would be the hostname of the add-on it's looking for, which is a0d7b954-nut.

#

I strongly recommend reading all of the documentation of the things you're installing

#

also the nut addon keeps shutting off

What else is in the log

#

Share your config for the addon too

I fixed it

#

apparently you can't use a password that's been in the haveibeenpwned database

#

Now I need to figure out how to add the UPS to my energy screen

#

I don't know how to convert % load into watts

#

basically what I want to do now is to be able to put my UPS's power draw on the energy dashboard so I can have a total cost of power used

I alrady did all of that but it's still only polling every 60 seconds

#

instead of polling every 10 seconds, it's polling every 10th second of every minute so 9:00:10, 9:01:10

#

that gives me an idea

#

this is cursed
