[ToddGreenfield]

Are you able to run the test.js script? What does the output show from that?

Also the device is reported as "description unavailable", but I cannot change this in the synology. Any idea why or how to overcome this issue?

What is your friendly-name for this ups in your nut server configuration? In ups.conf?

I cannot edit nor change the nut server config, because its running on a synology.

But the name is not that important, the constant reconnects are.

[ToddGreenfield]

The disconnect(timeouts) are caused from the underlying libraries disconnecting when idle. That's why I am polling for a connection and reconnecting if not found. Feel free to look into that and do a PR if you know of a better way.

I can do that, I just have to understand why this is happening. Does this occur at all on your side? Or is it connected all the time, just a few disconnects every few days? Not every minute?

[ToddGreenfield]

Mine disconnects every few minutes as well. It has nothing to do with the homebridge plugin and I believe everything to do with node-nut.

Maybe it's normal for the protocol to disconnect, because it only relies on polling the active state (like smnp based monitoring of ups). Will try to figure that out.
