Extend NUT configuration

[fumantsu]

Hello to all,

I would like to ask if there is any way (or plans) to extend the configuration of NUT plugin. In details, I have a UPS USB based attached to a router in standalone setup and I want to add more users because of Home Assistant plugin and also other devices which as netclients (they have to shutdown earlier before router). I can add users in the upsd.users but as it is written, changes will be overwritten (which I confirmed it). Is there any other way to have them more permanent?

Same applies for upsmon settings but I'm more interested for users.

The NUT package in OPNsense lags mainline and deployment isn't as flexible. OTOH, why not get a Raspberry Pi 4/5, connect that to the UPS and then install NUT on it? I did that while I waited for the OPNsense NUT package to catch up

I had it like this but my scope is to have a least as possible devices + have the router the last device running, trying to reduce load by shutdown fast all other devices are connected to the UPS.
I have a PI Zero W if in the end, it is a pain in the...
