If I'm only monitoring the status of the UPSs, how will I know that having UPS-A OL and 100% is irrelevant? Does anyone know how to incorporate the state of this "paralleling" component into my NUT monitoring?

Hi John,

I am not qualified to offer any advice about that bypass system (I try not to touch anything bigger than 120V/15A), but since nobody else has piped up yet: if you can get details from your clients about how that works conceptually, we can help map that into a NUT configuration.

The big question in my mind is whether there is some way to programmatically determine what state the circuit is in. If not, there is still probably a way to manually use the dummy-ups driver to add in a phantom UPS representing the parallel-fed state.
