For being a problem just for NUT, it sounds like Eaton would not care 
much. I have no need to re-enable it once I got it disabled, so I'm fine.

Yes, and I  just doubled-checked to be sure. Perhaps it only sends the 
high value. So there might be a firmware bug for setting the low value.

I have my work-around and it's documented in my notes for this UPS. 
Unless Eaton changes their stance about NUT, it sounds like there is 
nothing worth contacting them about. However, I have told them about the 
sleep issue I was having since that happens no matter what.

Don't worry about the lag, and thank you for the hard work (and more)!
