Hello,
I havent posted here forever so I figured I'd ask for this issue. I have purchased a APC Smart-UPS 750 (SMT750RM2U) which is connected to the Debian server via USB.
I installed apcupsd (version 3.14.10) on the server using apt-get and used this config (removed all comments from the file):

The issue is that the cgi webinterface is missing some outputs from the UPS and the command "apcaccess status" is also missing some data. I have tried changing the cable and UPS types in apcupsd.conf to no avail.
Apparently apcupsd supports these Smart-UPS so I would expect to at least have the "UPS Load", "Utility voltage" and "Output voltage" but these are missing..

Also apctest outputs "I don't know how to <bla bla bla> on your UPS or your UPS does not support <bla bla bla>" for most (if not all entries in the application's menu).
With missing data and apctest's messages I suspect the UPS is misconfigured or not supported, or worst, defective. I however ran the tests manually on the UPS and all went fine (a lot more data is available, self test works, all is reported as fine by the UPS, etc). I have also checked in the UPS manual to see if some initialization was required after purchase but no.
Seeking some advices!
Thanks!
EDIT: I have attached 2 screenshots of the webinterface showing some available data and some missing data. I have circled in purple the abnormal data.
