APCUPSd Sensor

The apcupsd sensor platform allows you to monitor a UPS (battery backup) by using data from the apcaccess command.

To use this sensor platform, you first have to set up apcupsd, and add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: apcupsd
    resources:
      - bcharge
      - linev
      - loadpct
      - nominv
      - nompower
      - numxfers
      - outputv
      - status
      - timeleft
      - tonbatt

Configuration variables:

resources array (Required): Contains all entries to display.
