First of all, thanks for the amazing add-in !

I do have one question:
We have two WHS boxes here.
Would it be possible for you to add an option to perform remote shutdowns for other PC’s connected to the UPS ?

I can think of other scenarios that may benefit from such a feature.
For example, some users might have a home PC plugged into the UPS in addition to the whs. Such households could also benefit from a remote shutdown command.

You are the expert and I am not sure how you could implement this, but if it is difficult - you could possibly just allow for a command to be executed at specific alerts.
Users could then get creative and put scripts in there, to perform a bunch of remote shutdowns across the network (or remote hibernate commands).

Sorry I am rambling..
Either way this is an awesome add-in, I didn’t even bother unwrapping the PowerChute CDROM that came with my APC UPS !
Thanks again

Michael - when you say “enable brownout filtering” does this mean that you can actually supress the alarm? I just got an APC 750 UPS but I’m afraid to plug it in becuase we’ve been having power outages and if I wake the baby up with an alarm my wife will beat me.

Bob,

Enable brownout filtering under “settings” to resolve the problem. =)

Great solution.
Is it possible to add an alarm suppress during specific hours??
I’ve had 3 brownout alarms in 24 hours and they all happened during the wee hours of the morning.
If the alarm could be muted/turned off (settings) between say 12am to 7am this would be terrific.
Curious to know if you are picking up the battery status on APC units. I have a lamp that is saying the batteries need replacing, but your code says that everything is okay.

@Tablet PC User
Yes please first remove the APC PowerChute software.

@Yums
What do you have in mind regarding Vista Caller-ID 1.0.8??

@Jim Jazlett
Yes please connect your UPS device via USB - then install Grid Junction

Question: Is it possible to utilize an RS232->USB adapter cable to get around the “no serial” limitation? I have a Back UPS Pro 650 that has served me well (just upgraded the battery in it!), and it only has an RS232 connection on it.

Yes do not install PowerChute in the first place that does not work right on the windows home server.
