About this device

Without the overrides and ignorelb posted in the ups.conf snippet, the UPS not reporting Low Battery for some reason (tried running on battery till the 1% battery.charge).

Charging status and battery.voltage is missing too (but they are present with Phoenixtec/Liebert HID 0.3), as you can see. The ups.power.nominal and ups.realpower values also looks strange.

About this device

Here is the output from FreeNas 11.0-U4.

UPS Notification works on FreeNas 11.0-U4 so I assume that the shutdown sequence should also work. If the service can detect a change, the service will probably shut down the machine also.
