APCUPSd status information can be integrated into Home Assistant when the Network Information Server (NIS) is configured is enabled on the APC device.
{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
apcupsd:
{% configuration %} host: description: The hostname/IP address on which the APCUPSd NIS is being served. required: false type: string default: localhost port: description: The port on which the APCUPSd NIS is listening. required: false type: integer default: 3551 {% endconfiguration %}
If you get `ConnectionRefusedError: Connection refused` errors in the Home assistant logs, ensure the [APCUPSd](http://www.apcupsd.org/) configuration directives used by its Network Information Server is set to permit connections from all addresses [NISIP 0.0.0.0](http://www.apcupsd.org/manual/manual.html#configuration-directives-used-by-the-network-information-server), else non-local addesses will not connect. This includes Hass.io running in Docker, even when hosted on the same machine or a virtual machine.
