USB HID UPS protocol reporting SoC to Omada Controllers
Support open source HID UPS protocol (usbhid-ups) over USB to Omada Controller. Dashboard display of UPS status and State of Charge (SoC%).
For the following purposes, in order of priority:
- Basic entry into this feature is to simply show UPS status (Ready, Charging, Discharging) and SoC%. Quick feature implementation.
- Omada Log and timestamp Battery on Discharge Assists with troubleshooting. Every power interruption will now be logged accurately.
- Some UPS' expose deeper details like:
-
Load -
Percent Load -
Real Power -
Run Time To Empty -
Remaining Time Limit -
These items can come later if there is a demonstrated appetite by the customer base.
4. Add actions based on SoC% trigger thresholds. Partial shutdowns of the WiFi distribution to extend battery runtime.
I have some sites in power outage prone area's. Integrating UPS status into the Omada dashboard and logs would be a great troubleshooing tool. Also just "neat"!
Thank you for considering.
