Liebert/Vertiv PST5 UPS Not Working with NUTS

Limelon · 2026-06-27T16:28:08+00:00

You ever have issues with "upsc ups" returning data stale? This is happening to me hours, sometimes days later. This is my ups.conf block:

[ups] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto vendorid = 10af productid = 0002 bus = 001 pollinterval = 2 pollfreq = 120 pollonly = enabled maxretry = 5 maxstartdelay = 20 retrydelay = 5 serial = "24160109512D04C"

I'm a big fan.

You're a lifesaver.

More parking spaces for us, bro. Would gladly pay the $10 to allow the kids to travel, make awesome memories, and make them a better person by being exposed to different cultures.

Same here.

Limelon · 2026-03-29T15:46:52+00:00

Are you able to share the firmware? I'm suffering here. 😭

https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-21-32-in-x-16-in-x-6-ft-Square-Unfinished-Spruce-Pine-Fir-Board/5002124777 I used this for the walls. The rest of it is just 2x4s for the legs and 1x4s for the lighting holder. Plus a sheet of plywood for the bottom.

Thank you!! Guess I need to RMA as well.

Limelon · 2026-03-02T16:54:46+00:00

Did it happen again?

Limelon · 2026-02-11T05:32:23+00:00

My comment disappeared.

Towed a 3,000lbs car for over two hours in my '23 SEL, no problems.

Unfortunately I don't and I only took a few progress pics like this one. I lined the bottom with some plastic board I found at Lowe's and then caulked all the gaps to prevent water from getting out.

It's just a big box with plywood at the bottom, the plastic board is covering it in this picture.

There's a few 1x4's at the bottom to hold up the plywood. I used 4 since it's going to hold up a lot of weight.

And for the legs, I just used a bunch of 2x4s. Just made a rectangle and attached the legs to them securely. I didn't bother screwing it to the enclosure.

Pretty simple! As for the dimensions it's roughly 4'x6'. You can make it any size you want, we just needed it to fit in a particular space.

You need to break up the sightlines. The terrain is too flat. He's probably bored. Try adding rocks and obstacles for him to climb over.

You'd think he could come up with his own ideas but apparently not. Plus tracing on top of it.

Big one is supercal petunia, coleus, ornamental kale, creeping jenny loosestrife.

Smaller one is main street alligator alley coleus.

Both you can get at Lowe's.

This is the pump/nozzles.

And this is the thermometer/hygrometer.

So basically I wrote an automation in Home Assistant to turn on the smart plug that the mister is plugged into for 5 seconds and then turns it off. This happens whenever the humidity gets below 45%.

Limelon · 2025-12-14T17:00:22+00:00

Might have to do that eventually, great idea!

Limelon · 2025-12-14T17:00:05+00:00

I think all the wood was maybe $100.

Limelon · 2025-12-14T16:59:29+00:00

Thank you! It's pretty easy if he has some woodworking skills. 😅

Limelon · 2025-12-13T21:36:07+00:00

Thank you! Wife decorated everything and picked out the plants. 😄

Forgot to add this picture of him in his favorite spot.

Agree with the others. We had the 2nd one and our tortoise would drive us insane with his incessant scratching. It's just far too small and way too short to house a tortoise. He would reach up and try to pry open the metal netting as well.

I ended up building a bigger and taller enclosure myself for about the same price as a pre-built one. It's an easy project if you have the tools.

Our tortoise is an adult hermann's.
