Okay! Now where getting somewhere!

If I look at your code you assume that the last quote-sign is always om the end. Is there a way to do it more place independent?

What do you mean? The example code or how I get this information from the UPS?

[deanrparry 19]

Which ups do you have anyway I have an APC USB on here

[Lambik 192]

Same here.

The trick is that I have it connected to Synology NAS which acts as UPS-Server. I will explain later but I have to test several things before posting.

Mine is connected to synology as well I tried to find this data before but lost it after the 5.0 update

[Lambik 192]

I'm using the latest Synology firmware DSM 5.0-4493 update 5 (updated 2 days ago).

I'm in the final stage programming and testing. Looks really good..
