thanks, it seems to have worked, I added an additional IP via Protection > Allow list.

Good to hear that you managed to get it working.

By the way, I was referring the ā€˜Permitted DiskStation Devicesā€™ setting in Control Panel > Hardware & Power > UPS. There you need to add the IP of your Homey. I assume that is, the same setting you found :grinning_face:.

Any news about adding more than an UPS?

24

I am running in the following issue since the last app update: initially the app works and the UPS device shows the data of the UPS connected to my Synology NAS. After some time however the device tile shows a red exclamation mark and the following error:

I already reinstalled the app and am now logging in with my NASā€™s administrator credentials. In the prior version of the app no credentials were required.

Any idea what is causing this issue and how to resolve?

25

Iā€™ve always had to provide a username and password for Synology.

Iā€™m not sure how they can be set on Synology side, but I did come across the following:

The article above suggest:

  • Username: monuser
  • Password: secret

For me this works to make the connection

26

Thanks. I wasnā€™t aware that Synology uses a default monitoring account for UPS devices :blush:.

Iā€™ll give it a try and hope the connection stays alive.

27

Hope it works for you.

Out of curiosity, were you seeing all of the NUT/UPS parameters in Homey, or only some?

My APC Smart-UPS 1000 is only showing Battery %, Battery mode alarm, Status and Battery runtime.

Iā€™m not seeing voltage or power related parameters. I can view these on the display on the UPS, but maybe Synology is not reading them.

In my case it shows also some of the other values, but not all.

I have a CyberPower VP700ELCD UPS.

This is what I see in case the UPS is powered:

And this when it is unpowered / running on battery:

You have also slightly different capabilities: both a Current Input and Output, and a Voltage Output. I have only Current Output, and both Voltage Input and Output :thinking:.

I use one APC UPS connected to my Synology NAS and lost comms with it a few days ago (since a recent update) which was solved by entering the usermon details as mentioned earlier.

Because this issue was fixed I implemented a Raspberry Pi NUT server for a second APC UPC in another place in my house.
I was able to add this to Homey as well and both NUT servers were monitored succesful but only for a short time, then I lost comms with the Pi.
After reloading the NUT app on my Homey I saw both NUT servers again but again for only a short time and then I lost comms with the Synology.

Every time I reload the Homey app I encounter the same issue, one of the NUT servers is disconnected.

I randomly get Connection failed: undefined on my nut devices.

Nut server seems working correctly and other nut clients are not having any problems. It seems a but and i sent you a report. Can you please check? Thanks

I have had one Synology NAS connected to a UPS and running NUT on the NAS. It has been working fine and i see all UPS values in Homey in the app.

Now I have added a second UPS connected to another Synology NAS on the same network but when I try to add that UPS itā€™s not possible, it seems like it is found on the network with correct IP-address but when i try to add it it says ā€œNo new units foundā€.

I can se the values of both UPS in the Synology interface and I have added the IP-address of the Homey as an allowed IP-address.

I can also change the IP-address of the existing device in Homey and then get values from that corresponding NUT-server into Homey.

Is it only possible to add one device with this app?
