If you're monitoring two (or more) UPSes from the same host system,
make sure they can be uniquely identified by the regular expressions
you specified in 'ups.conf'. The situation you're describing is
typical for an installation where this is not done properly (see also
'man 8 usbhid-ups'). The regular expressions are *mandatory* as soon
as you connect multiple UPS devices to a single host.

  Can you give an example?  Or does this only apply if the UPSes are of the
same make and model?  For instance, here's my ups.conf file:

[apc1000]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        desc = "APC Back-UPS XS 1000"
        vendorid = 051D

[cp1000]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        desc = "CyberPower 1000AVR"
        vendorid = 0764

Both devices have a different 'vendorid', which is one of the regular expressions (see 'man 8 usbhid-ups') we use for device matching. This makes them uniquely identifiable. If you add another APC and/or CyberPower device, you'll have to add additional regular expressions since the 'vendorid' alone will usually be the same for devices from the same vendor.
