[Nut-upsuser] Feedback for Powercom IMD1000 AP with 2.6.0

[Mehmet Giritli]

Here you go. Thanks!

One more thing. Does this ups support reporting temperature? Can you
tell this by looking at the log file I sent? Current NUT driver does not
seem to find this data.

I am not an expert on this, but it seems there is some data for
temperature.

Best.
