For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8). DESCRIPTION This driver allows the monitoring of power devices (UPS, batteries) that are managed by the UPower daemon via the D-Bus system bus. It maps UPower properties (state, percentage, voltage, etc.) to standard NUT variables, allowing NUT clients to monitor devices that are natively supported by the OS desktop environment but not directly by other NUT drivers. EXTRA ARGUMENTS This driver supports the following optional settings in ups.conf(5): port The UPower Object Path of the device to monitor. If set to auto (the default), the driver will scan for the first UPower device whose object path contains the string "ups_". If set to a specific path (e.g., /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/ups_hiddev0), the driver will attempt to monitor that specific device. lowbatt The battery percentage threshold below which the LB (Low Battery) status flag is set. The default value is 20.0. INSTALLATION To use this driver, add a section to your ups.conf: [myups] driver = nut-upower port = auto lowbatt = 20 desc = "Laptop Battery or generic UPS via UPower" REQUIREMENTS This driver requires the upower daemon to be running and accessible via the D-Bus system bus. It also requires GLib 2.0 and GIO libraries.
