Hi
I have BLUPS installed on XP SP3 PRO with HS PRO 2.5.0.52. I have a APC BackAPC 650 connected to the HS PC via a direct USB cable to the PC (no USB hubs!). Windows is using the "HID UPS" driver version 5.1.2535.0 with the UPS, I have not installed any APC software and XP picked the UPS up when it was plugged in. Windows detects if the UPS is on AC or battery power ok and displays the amount of battery time left in the system tray. I loaded BLUPS 1.0.26.0 and BLUPS configured a few HS devices on the first start of HS but then never updates them. If I look at the BLUPS status page all the UPS fields show no values. If I remove AC power from the UPS windows shows the battery icon in the tray and I see an entry in HSLOG saying "BLUPS Info - UPS Power mode has changed to On Battery Power" but the BLUPS device $1 still shows AC power. The PC has been rebooted several time but I can't get BLUPS to see the UPS's status. I've tried turning on the BLUPS debug mode but I do not see any other entries in the HSLOG when compared to not having debug turned on, even if I remove power I still only get the "BLUPS Info - UPS Power mode has changed to On Battery Power" type messages. Is there anything else I can try to see the UPS values in HS via BLUPS?
Update - Not sure if this helps but if I turn on the "load system tray icon" option the BLUPS icon in the tray correctly display if the UPS is being fed from AC power or not.
Many thanks
