I uploaded a new BETA version to address this and add two new triggers (for APCUPSD drivers). Unfortunately my NUT UPS devices to no send the same same string so could not full validate the low battery status change. Can you try it with your setup?
See https://forums.homeseer.com/showpost...61&postcount=1 or PDF Documentation for change details.

My UPS shows watts on the front LCD panels and using the Load % as the reference and the the math below it matches my UPSs display.
I am sure there is a way to write a script to send a value to a virtual device with a few equations but I am just not smart enough
Workings in picture
I posted a new Beta version a few minutes ago that adds a additional HS3 device capturing the computed Watts. IN case the UPS does not provide the nominal line voltage or power, two new configuration values per UPS in the plugin configuration page can provide these values. In some of my testing some UPS or driver (NUT in one of my case) do not provide the needed values to calculate the Watts value. In this case keeping it at 0.

PCP:
I'm running beta 3.3.1.2 on Lubuntu Linux 16.04; apcupsd is running as the "data collector". The UPS being monitored is an APC model Back-UPS ES 650G1 connected via USB. All the devices appear to have valid values except for "Watts", which is zero AND has an odd last changed date of 5/21/1929 - see the attached picture. You can see that the current load is 6%. I disabled and re-enabled the plugin several times, with no change in the Watts device values. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Regards,
BBB

Does the UPS report the nominal power of the UPS? You can check this in the status page of the plugin. The nominal power (with the load and current voltage) is used to calculate the current Watts. Some do not report the nominal power and therefore cannot calculate it the Watts. To get around this and if the Nominal Power is not reported by your UPS (via apcupsd or nut), you can set a static default value for the Nominal Power in the plugin (Menu Plugin > APCUPSD > Configuration and select the appropriate tab for your UPS; the setting is toward the end of the input values).
The rease for the odd timestamp is that the devide value was never set and therefore the update time for the device is some odd un-initialized date.

Is this a username & password for the card that needs to be added to the apcupsd configuration or a username & password when clients such as the plugin connect to apcupsd to query status? I ddon’t recall the client protocol for apcupsd requiring a password. Does the apctray (in WIndows) connect to the apcupsd instance, does it ask for a username & password upon connection and displays the status and events?

The normal format as per APCUPSD is
IPaddress:usernameassword ""
