I recently bought a Belkin F6H375 UPS. It connects to the computer via USB. Searching the Internet led me to believe that the megatec_usb driver in nut supports this UPS, however I've been unable to get it to work.
I have this in ups.conf: [belkinusb] driver = megatec_usb port = auto desc = "Belkin USB" Here's what happens when I try to use it: ~ # /usr/local/ups/bin/megatec_usb -DDDDDD -a belkinusb -u root Network UPS Tools 2.2.1 - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.9 [megatec_usb] Carlos Rodrigues (c) 2003-2007 Serial-over-USB transport layer for Megatec protocol driver [megatec_usb] Andrey Lelikov (c) 2006, Alexander Gordeev (c) 2006-2007, Jon Gough (c) 2007 debug level is '6' Checking device (0665/5161) (002/002) - VendorID: 0665 - ProductID: 5161 - Manufacturer: Cypress Semiconductor - Product: USB to Serial - Serial Number: unknown - Bus: 002 Trying to match device Device matches none (-110) Starting UPS detection process...

Megatec protocol UPS not detected. One thing I noticed is that immediately after booting the machine, /dev/usb/hiddev0 exists. As soon as I run the megatec_usb command, that entry disappears. Since /dev/usb/hiddev0 seems to be related to the UPS somehow, I also tried using the usbhid-ups driver with the following settings: [belkinhid] driver = usbhid-ups port = /dev/usb/hiddev0 desc = "Belkin USB" but it didn't detect the UPS either: ~ # /usr/local/ups/bin/usbhid-ups -DDDDDD -a belkinhid -u root Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.32 (2.2.1) debug level is '6' upsdrv_initups...
