<br>
Hi:<br>
I got a new APC SRT3000XL and tested the new driver "apc_modbus".<br>
the ups works fine with nut+apcupsd. the new driver "apc_modbus" has<br>
result below:<br>
<br>
1. upsrw can write the variable "battery.date". but the new value<br>
will only show after restarting apc_modbus. and in my case the written<br>
data will shift one day. eg the command "upsrw -s<br>
battery.date=2023-09-13" will return "2023-09-12" later.<br>
2. the upscmd power-off related commands (like load.*, outlet.*,<br>
shutdown.*) can not work. so it can not shutdown the ups. (I think<br>
this is the most important feature which needs to be fixed)<br>
3. upscmd command works: beeper.mute, bypass.start, bypass.stop,<br>
test.battery.start, test.battery.stop, test.panel.start<br>
4. I can't attach any load so I can not test calibrate.start. but I<br>
found the new driver seems missing an import item which apcupsd have:<br>
"ups.test.result"<br>
<br>
below are some raw data:<br>
