✨ SOLIS ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about solis — the NUT driver for Brazilian Microsol SOLIS UPS equipment 💖 it lives in section 8 of the manual (that's the "system administration" girlies, iykyk) and it's literally here to make your UPS talk to your computer. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

solis — Driver for Brazilian Microsol SOLIS UPS equipment 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨


solis -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]
📌 note, bestie: this man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the solis driver. For all the deets about the core driver, go read nutupsdrv(8). 💅

👑 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 👑

this driver has been tested with, and she ate:

  • Solis 1000 VA
  • Solis 1500 VA
  • Solis 2000 VA
  • Solis 3000 VA
  • Back-UPS BZ1200-BR
  • Back-UPS BZ2200BI-BR

All Solis models are sinusoidal on-line. iconic behaviour fr fr ✨

so here's the lore 🫖: in 2009, Schneider Electric acquired Microsol Technologies, and by 2012, the entire Microsol line of equipment was being sold under the APC brand. so if you've got a newer device, it may lowkey be better supported by the microsol-apc(8) driver instead. just saying 💅

🎀 EXTRA ARGUMENTS 🎀

this driver supports the following extra optional settings in the ups.conf(5). yes, optional, we love options:

  • battext=n — Default = 0, no extra battery, where n = Ampere*hour. 🔋
  • prgshut=n — Default = 0, no programmable shutdown; 1 to enable one. so if you want that programmable shutdown vibe, set her to 1 🌈

💅 COMMANDS 💅

  • shutdown.return — Shut down in .3 minutes and restart in .3 minutes after that. she leaves and comes RIGHT back, main character energy 👑
  • shutdown.stayoff — Shut down in .3 minutes and do not return. bye bestie, gone for real 💀

😭 ISSUES 😭

okay so this is the part where we hold hands 🫶. The APC version of the Microsol protocol is slightly incompatible with the solis driver. As of version 0.62 of the solis driver, the driver will connect to the UPS, but some values are read incorrectly. so like… she'll show up to the party, but she's reading the room wrong 🙈 not ideal, just be aware!
