Hallo,
Following the tips found at https://calomel.org/nut_ups.html I was trying to
make NUT operate "APC Back UPS CS-350". The device introduces itself as:
#v+
ugen0 at uhub0 port 1 "American Power Conversion Back-UPS CS 350 FW:807.q7.I
USB FW:q7" rev 1.10/0.06 addr 2
#v-
My config:
#v+
[apc]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = /dev/ugen0.00
pollfreq = 60
desc = "Back UPS CS-350"
#v-
Unfortunately, when I'm trying to start UPS driver, it's complaining:
#v+
# usbhid-ups -a apc
Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.33 (2.2.2)
No matching HID UPS found
#v-
It seems, it doesn't recognize(?) that particular UPS.
So my only option for today is to try to compile and use apcupsd, right? - or
perhaps someone can make a tip, how can I fix that lack of "matching HID UPS"?
Hopefully the following is helpful. I am running 4.4 -stable/i386 on
this system.
dmesg snippet below:
ugen0 at uhub3 port 2 "American Power Conversion Back-UPS LS 700
FW:19.b6 .D USB FW:b6" rev 1.10/1.06 addr 2
pkg_info below:
apc-upsd-19991128p0 UPS software for APC UPS models
nut-2.2.1p0 UPS monitoring program supporting many brands
Here is my /etc/rc.local entry for the UPS
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/upsdrvctl ]; then
echo -n ' nut'
/usr/local/bin/upsdrvctl start > /dev/null 2>&1
/usr/local/sbin/upsd > /dev/null 2>&1
/usr/local/sbin/upsmon > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
Here is my config file for the UPS daemon
#
# apc-upsd.conf
#
# ups is connected to ...
# OpenBSD ... device /dev/tty00
device /dev/tty00
#
# startuptest sends a 'test' sequence to the smart series
#

# debug ON|OFF
#
# OFF ... normal operation
# ON .... don't start as daemon, do tests in smart mode
