[Nut-upsuser] Cyber power CP1500AVR required pollonly?

[Selva Nair]

Hi,

Thanks for the followup.

A hint about pollonly option in the logs would be very helpful.
Automatically changing the mode could be hard to get right and may not
be the proper thing to do in some situations. It would also make
troubleshooting harder if the driver uses options contrary to what is
in ups.conf.

Thanks,

Selva
