[Nut-upsdev] Question about voltage threshold setting in NUT

Hello Charles,

Thank you so much for your reply.

Yes. 40v was too low. In windows, those range started from 76v, 85v, and
96v. Just tried upsrw command to modify input.transfer.low and
input.transfer.boost.low. There were some error messages returned. Tried
another one battery.charge.low and it returns ok.

$  sudo upsrw -s input.transfer.low=70 -u * -p * ups
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR READONLY

$ sudo upsrw -s input.transfer.boost.low=70 -u * -p * ups
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR VAR-NOT-SUPPORTED

$ sudo upsrw -s battery.charge.low=70 -u * -p * ups
OK
