# The section header ([upsname]) can be just about anything as long as

# identify a UPS on this system.
#
# If you have a UPS called snoopy, your section header would be "[snoopy]".
# On a system called "doghouse", the line in your upsmon.conf to monitor
# it would look something like this:

#       MONITOR snoopy@doghouse 1 upsmonuser mypassword master

# Configuration directives
# ------------------------
#
# These directives are used by upsdrvctl only and should be specified outside
# of a driver definition:
#
#    maxretry: Optional.  Specify the number of attempts to start the driver(s),
#              in case of failure, before giving up. A delay of 'retrydelay' is
#              inserted between each attempt. Caution should be taken when using
#              this option, since it can impact the time taken by your system to
#              start.
#
#              The default is 1 attempt.
#
#  retrydelay: Optional.  Specify the delay between each restart attempt of the
#              driver(s), as specified by 'maxretry'. Caution should be taken
#              when using this option, since it can impact the time taken by your
#              system to start.
#
#              The default is 5 seconds.
#
# These directives are common to all drivers that support ups.conf:
#
#  driver: REQUIRED.  Specify the program to run to talk to this UPS.
#          apcsmart, bestups, and sec are some examples.

#
#    port: REQUIRED.  The serial port where your UPS is connected.
#          /dev/ttyS0 is usually the first port on Linux boxes, for example.
#
# sdorder: optional.  When you have multiple UPSes on your system, you
#          usually need to turn them off in a certain order.  upsdrvctl
#          shuts down all the 0s, then the 1s, 2s, and so on.  To exclude
#          a UPS from the shutdown sequence, set this to -1.
#
#          The default value for this parameter is 0.
#
#  nolock: optional, and not recommended for use in this file.
#
#          If you put nolock in here, the driver will not lock the
#          serial port every time it starts.  This may allow other
#          processes to seize the port if you start more than one by
#          mistake.
#
#          This is only intended to be used on systems where locking
#          absolutely must be disabled for the software to work.
#
# maxstartdelay: optional.  This can be set as a global variable
#                above your first UPS definition and it can also be
#                set in a UPS section.  This value controls how long

#              connected.  By enabling the 'synchronous' flag
#              (value = 'yes'), the driver will wait for data to be
#              consumed by upsd, prior to publishing more.  This can be
#              enabled either globally or per driver.
#
#              The default is 'no' (i.e. asynchronous mode) for backward

#       port = /dev/ttyS0
#       desc = "Web server"
#

#
# [myups]

endlich!

Ob das korrekt ist mitten in der Anleitung die # zu entfernen und das als Config zu nehmen weiß ich nicht.

Ansonsten würde ich zum testen jetzt einfach die Zeile mit den maxretry auskommentieren.

EDIT:
das Problem wird die Zeile vor maxretry sein. Die war doch eben noch auskommentiert, oder?
Dort unbedingt ein # vorsetzen sonst ist das ein (ungültiger) Befehl -> set maxretry....

Ich lese auch eure Beiträge zwei mal bevor ich was mache

als nächstes habe ich das eingestellt:

nun kommt der Zugriff unter sudo nano /etc/nut/upsd.conf
da ja auch Clients zufgreifen sollen,soll man dort LISTEN 0.0.0.0 eintragen.
Nun stehe ich wieder wie der Ochse vor dem Scheunentor. wo hier?

 =======================================================================

ich möchte dir nochmals den Thread von @klassisch ans Herz legen (wenigstens parallel lesen!).
https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/23688/howto-usv-nut-server-auf-sbc-installieren?_=1621345610029

der macht nämlich vorher noch einen test:

Eintragen:
MODE=netserver
Danach den Dienst starten:
sudo upsd
Wenn alles funktioniert hat, kann man jetzt Daten ausgeben:
sudo upsc ups@localhost
Hier muss eine sinnvolle Liste gelistet werden:

Erst dann wird die /etc/nut/upsd.conf editiert und die IPs eingegeben.
0.0.0.0 macht alles auf....

ok ich lese erst mal melde mich wieder.
