upowerd -v output

Hello,

UPower does not reads the charge information from my ups.

It's a MGE (Eaton) protection center 675 usb.

The ups is not defective, nut reads the informations correctly from it.

With UPower, the state is always emty and percentage 0%.

upower -d

I've attached the output of upowerd -v

it seems to fail reading data from the ups at coldplug, then does not get data:

Polling: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/ups_hiddev0
no data

Please tell me if I can give any more helpful informations.


Best regards.

There doesn't seem to be any failures to run up_device_hid_get_all_data() in your logs, just getting more information out of the device.

Can you try using hid-recorder to record data coming out of the device? A run of a couple of minutes where you would plug, unplug the UPS from the mains to simulate a power cut would be best.

The hidraw device to use should be listed in the output of "udevadm info --export-db".

This should allow us to reproduce the problem.

Hello,

Here is the hid-recorder output.

A few seconds after I unplugged the ups, the numbers showed as expected with upower -d

Now I re-plugged it, the data is still show as expected:

I will check with the battery at 100% if the problem reappears.
Comment 4 Mat 2013-10-21 17:07:20 UTC
ok so it seems the data is updated only when the ups is unplugged.


After I plugged it, it stayed at 97% and the updated time did not refresh.

After restarting the upower daemon, it's back to :

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2013-10-28 15:58:28 UTC
I couldn't figure out what nuts does differently from UPower in terms of reading the data out of the device. I'm afraid that unless somebody with this device debugs the problem, it's going to languish in bugzilla...
Comment 6 Laurent Bigonville 2016-03-20 16:13:22 UTC
I'm looking at that ATM, and basically all the values passed to up_device_hid_set_values() are set to 0
