I haven openhab 3.4.0 on a windows 10 machine. I am trying to get information from apcupsd. It’s an ups where the information is send to the computer through an USB cable.
As far as I can see there is no binding for that.
The deamon is running. The data are also available in a tekst file.
Can anyone tell me how to get the data from the deamon (apcupsd@:3551 does not work)? Or how I can read the data from the tekst file in to an item or so?
This one doesn’t work?
Unfortunaly not, that means: I can’t get it working. It seems to require a network ups. Mine is not a network one, but connected via usb.
I would love to help as I have an old APC BACK-UPS ES 700 lying around that I have always wanted to integrate with openHAB. The first thing I need to do is find the RJ45 USB cable … 
Please identify your UPS (manufacturer, model no.) and describe your setup in more detail.
In the meantime, the following way might be possible (but quite complex and probably overkill):
UPS <-> apcupsd <-> apcups-mqtt <-> MQTT Broker <-> MQTT Binding <-> openHAB
Edit:
Cable found - it’s really amazing how many cables I own … 
Edit #2:
apcupsd is up and running on my Windows 10 machine. apcupsd comes with apcaccess:

Edit #3:
Use the Exec Binding to transfer a specific parameter into an openHAB Thing:
Exec Command:
apcaccess -p TIMELEFT
Drawback: only one parameter per Exec Thing (limitation of the Exec Binding).
Going NUTs seems to be the better way.
It requires you to run the NUT server so that data can be sent over your network.
Found a solution: exec binding and a thing with command:
c:\progra~1\apcupsd\bin\apcaccess status
did the trick!
Just for reference the main steps for the ‘UPS - apcuspd (Win) - NUT (Win) - NUT Binding (openHABian) - openHAB (openHABian)’ way:
Installation of NUT/Windows:
etc\nut.conf:MODE=netserver
etc\ups.conf:[apcupsd]
driver = apcupsd-ups
port = localhost
desc = "apcupsd client"
etc\upsd.conf:
LISTEN 127.0.0.1 3493
etc\upsd.users:[admin]
password = topsecret
actions = SET
instcmds = ALL
upsmon master
Restart Network UPS Tools Service.
Install Network UPS Tools Binding.
Create Thing: Add Manually: Network UPS Tool
Result:
**COMMUNICATION_ERROR**
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused)
Probably some Windows firewall problems:
openhabian@openhabian:~ $ nmap -p3493 192.168.1.178
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-12-28 00:13 CET

Host is up (0.0027s latency).

Edit:
Unfortunately, the driver apcupsd-ups is missing from the Windows binaries. So it looks like it is not possible to use apcupsd and NUT (standalone, netserver modes) in parallel on a Windows machine.
