[HCL] APC Back-UPS RS 1200 aka APC Back-UPS Pro 1200VA/720W (NUT 2.8.2)

[desertwitch]

I might as well report this as working with NUT v2.8.2 and although I'd usually always pick Eaton over APC, I got a very good deal on this used UPS and do not regret it so far as it works exceptionally well with NUT.

I have tested the detection through nut-scanner, regular shutdown routine incuding killpower (through upsmon), as well as manual killpower and battery tests (through upscmd).

upscmd

Instant commands supported on UPS [ups]:

beeper.disable - Disable the UPS beeper
beeper.enable - Enable the UPS beeper
beeper.mute - Temporarily mute the UPS beeper
beeper.off - Obsolete (use beeper.disable or beeper.mute)
beeper.on - Obsolete (use beeper.enable)
driver.killpower - Tell the driver daemon to initiate UPS shutdown; should be unlocked with driver.flag.allow_killpower option or variable setting
driver.reload - Reload running driver configuration from the file system (only works for changes in some options)
driver.reload-or-error - Reload running driver configuration from the file system (only works for changes in some options); return an error if something changed and could not be applied live (so the caller can restart it with new options)
driver.reload-or-exit - Reload running driver configuration from the file system (only works for changes in some options); exit the running driver if something changed and could not be applied live (so service management framework can restart it with new options)
load.off - Turn off the load immediately
load.off.delay - Turn off the load with a delay (seconds)
shutdown.reboot - Shut down the load briefly while rebooting the UPS
shutdown.stop - Stop a shutdown in progress

No log-spamming, status cycling or other weirdness to report so far. During battery testing the UPS reports OFF shortly and then goes back OL (no shutdowns caused by this).
