Change UPS backup time from seconds to minutes/hours?

[snagglewest]

Thank you for this very handy plugin!

I'm running the most recent version of the NUT_UPS plugin on a Raspberry Pi3 with a CyberPower LE1000DG UPS.

Everything works great but the UPS backup time is reported in seconds which is not very intuitive. I'm guessing this is probably dependent on the UPS brand so I'm not sure this is really a "feature request", more of a "is it possible" with some simple file editing?

I'm not a programmer by any stretch but I poked around a bit in the files and nothing jumped out at me. If it's easily possible could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the appreciation.
The way the NUT UPS standard reports the backup time is in seconds, hence the plugin’s behavior. It can easily be changed to minutes though by minor tweaking of the code, even if you are not a hard core programmer.

Thank you for the quick response! I'm assuming it's making a change to plugin.py, could you tell me what to add or change? I'm comfortable with CLI and editing files but interpreting the code is not my strong point.

Thank you

Maybe a small hint were to start???
