VICTRONUPS(8)

💖 VICTRONUPS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about victronups from section 8 of the manual (that's the sysadmin-and-daemons section, iykyk) ✨

This is the driver for IMV/Victron UPS units — specifically the Match, Match Lite, and NetUps crew. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🎀 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 🎀

So like, the victronups driver should recognize literally all the Victron models that talk over a serial protocol at 1200 bps. That means:

• Match Lite
• Match
• the NetUps line

And bestie, heads up: the Match Lite line may only report a handful of variables. That's usually not a bug — they just genuinely don't support anything else. It's giving minimalism 💅 not broken.
