Hi,

I'm using DD-WRT v3.0-r38100M kongac (12/27/2018) on a Netgear R7000.

I have all my IP stuff connected to an UPS, but the R7000 is the only device nearby with "intelligence" to manage the UPS.

Before I used to have a TP-1043ND with OpenWRT and was using NUT and upsdrvctl seamlessly.

I'm using the nut binaries obtained from "opkg install nut", however, even with the .conf files properly set-up, the nut isn't working. It seems the binaries are still poing towards the original / directory, and with Kong/entware it should be /opt, right?

TL;DR Yes Network UPS Tools (NUT) from Entware works just fine with dd-wrt. Only tested slave mode though.

Years ago I solved my dd-wrt USB thumb drives getting corrupted or simply worn out and dying by buying an actual USB HDD (WD My Passport) and formatting it ext4 which has journaling. Survived countless power failures trouble free.

I have a NAS with a UPS now so I also plugged dd-wrt's power into the UPS and it runs upsmon as a slave (the NAS is the master).

Plenty of tutorials online explain how to setup NUT. Just make sure when the tutorial tells you to set a temporary file somewhere that it isn't a read-only filesystem on dd-wrt. These variables needed tweaking.

POWERDOWNFLAG /tmp/var/run/killpower
SHUTDOWNCMD "startservice run_rc_shutdown"
PIPEFN /tmp/var/run/upssched.pipe
LOCKFN /tmp/var/run/upssched.lock

In my shutdown script a simple umount /opt had to be backgrounded and retried or upsmon itself would keep /opt busy as it waited for the SHUTDOWNCMD to finish.
