<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello, and welcome!</div><div><br></div><div> As far as I know there are no "formal requirements", just the general netiquette for mailing list communications (or github issues for that matter).</div><div><br></div><div> Vendors are encouraged to at least publish protocols used by their devices for monitoring and management (we can host a copy on the NUT website), and ideally develop and maintain a NUT driver so your devices can be supported out of the box.</div><div><br></div><div> It would also help both sides to have NUT as the officially recommended toolkit for customers to shut down their servers when power is lost, instead of developing some of your own.</div><div>* Note: existing NUT for Windows builds are very old (a decade); recently I rebased that codebase over the current master, but the resulting branch would need some attention and testing to become an MSI package for end-users and a "first-class citizen" in NUT ecosystem. Help is welcome :)<br></div><div><br></div><div> If your devices support a common method of communications like SNMP or USB-HID, and that goes beyond the bare-minimum standard data points with vendor extensions, this may mean generation of a sub-driver file to map your data points to NUT standard items.</div><div><br></div><div> Most other devices support a variant of Megatec Qx family of protocols (serial or USB) and if custom support is needed - you should develop a subdriver for nutdrv_qx instead.<br></div><div><br></div><div> I haven't seen too many devices lately that would not fall into one of those 3 categories; however recent submissions did include some I2C drivers for (Linux) embedded batteries, and several modbus drivers, for example.<br></div><div><br></div><div>
<div> Note that for USB drivers either way you would need to update
some driver to recognize the Vendor and Product ID (and possibly other
matching data if your USB chips are generic with same IDs as everyone
else has), and NUT may be strict about protocol conformance (declared
and actual bit-lengths of different data in messages, notably some
firmwares were seen to encode Logical Min/Max mismatches).<br></div><div><br></div>
