hid-ups 0.7.0

A Python library for interacting with USB HID UPS devices.

HID_UPS

Uses hidapi to listen for UPS data.

Currently only tested working with a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD

Dependencies

Uses zenlib and hidapi

Usage

This must be run as root unless the user has privileges to use the hidraw socket the UPS uses.

This package can be installed with sudo pip install --break . then run with sudo hid_ups.

Once started, hid_ups will attempt to find UPS devices and listen for stats.

A SIGHUP can be sent to the process to re-scan for devices.

This will close current listeners, and will momentarily throw errors until the socket is re-opened

hid_ups detects the device using vendor/device strings. Only one is currently added. The are defined in hid_devices
