It looks like `apcupsd` listens to the local network interface by default, which means you can’t access from other machines. In the configuration file (on my Ubuntu server that’s `/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf`), you should change this line: `NISIP 127.0.0.1` to this: `NISIP 0.0.0.0` After a restart of the daemon, try again from Homey. ---

Thanks, that was it! Should have seen that myself, it’s actually in the the comments in apcupsd.conf. Didn’t read it. Thanks again! /PO Edit: restarting the daemon was not enough, had to reboot the rpi. ---

Hello! For me it’s not working. I have done what have been said here. I changed to 0.0.0.0 and rebooted & restarted the daemon. My APC UPS is following model: APC Smart UPS 1500 LCD Any other ideas perhaps? ---

I was happy to see there was a APC UPC app for Homey, thanks @denniedegroot . Just a question, I have my _UPS 700VA_ connected on a Synology NAS (DS218+). I setup the “Network ups server” option in my NAS with the Homey IP adress and added the IP adress from my NAS in your Homey app. Your app now sees the UPS. But it doesn’t notice a power failure, and can’t read the battery and power level (battery low alert). I totally understand you didn’t develop the app with a NAS in mind, but who knows you have a solution. I do see there is data transmitted by the NAS on an other website to use the “[NUT Sensor](https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/nut-sensor-on-home-assistant-synology-ups/)”. But I have no idea how this works… ---

Hello, I installed Network UPS Tools server to my [hass.io](http://hass.io) and was able to read data from my apc back-ups in Home Assistant. But i can’t add device using APC UPS app in Homey, it’s always show me No new devices has been found. I tested it and connected to NUT server on port 3551 using terminal app on my Win10, so it’s available and giving me replies to my commands. Please help. Thank you! ---

I’m not using this app on Homey anymore. I just connected my UPS to HA and transfered all what i need to Homey using HA app. Connected my Back-UPS XS 650CI by USB to RasspberyPi with HA Installed Network UPS Tools in HA My UPS automatically found by Network UPS Tools with 24 entities. Added devices and sensors to Homey using HA app for Homey. ---

I have my APC UPS connected to my network through a network interface. Is this app able to get the information directly from the UPS as well, or does it always need a Pi+additional service running? ---

Anybody used this app when de ups is directly connected to netwerk? I have also a synology nas connected tot it true usb. I’m not an expert but would be great if I could use the ups data in Homey. Thx! ---
