Can i use info about Battery from my UPS Powercom? Its connected from USB.

[corecoding]

Normally UPS is handled with NUT (Network UPS Tools) which has a connection via USB. It doesn't make sense for me to take on the work of supporting different brands, communication protocols, etc. But I do like the idea.

Are you aware of any files in /sys directory containing UPS stats?

Are you aware of any files in /sys directory containing UPS stats?

@corecoding There is none that I aware of. But upslog could output formatted text. upsc output is also usable, but needs additional cron config and specified output location. An example of upsc <device@localhost> output:
