However, after the values for input.transfer.low and input.transfer.high, the other values might end up being scaled to the transfer voltage range. Hence, I would treat a lot of the values from usbhid-ups on CyberPower hardware (including writable thresholds) as suspect. The USB HID report descriptors are hierarchical, which enables cascading errors like these. We do have a debug procedure that can get to the bottom of that if something comes up.

Thanks, useful to know.  I'll have to keep a note of that in case
anything starts looking weird.

I'm not 100% certain I'm tracking what you mean by 'scaled to the
transfer voltage range' though.  Could you clarify?
