Updates on this: 1) Making progress in the related Dev list thread here: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2019-June/007440.html I’ll keep that thread up to date with progress as I go. But if there are specific things it would make sense to test here, just let me know. Otherwise, I figure reducing redundancy makes sense?
2) I tried disabling usbcore.autosuspend, but that did not seem to stop the drops An example of what I tried is below. I believe simply echo-ing “-1” will change the setting until the next reboot and it should apply to any newly connected devices, so I did that, connected the device to the virtual machine, and checked syslog. [root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend 2 [root@localhost ~]# echo -1 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend [root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend -1 [root@localhost ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages Jun 24 13:37:33 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Product: Tripp Lite UPS Jun 24 13:37:33 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: Tripp Lite Jun 24 13:37:33 localhost kernel: hid-generic 0003:09AE:2012.0005: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS ] on usb-0000:02:02.0-2.1/input0 Jun 24 13:37:48 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: USB disconnect, device number 7 Jun 24 13:37:51 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: new low-speed USB device number 8 using uhci_hcd Jun 24 13:37:51 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=09ae, idProduct=2012 Jun 24 13:37:51 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jun 24 13:37:51 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Product: Tripp Lite UPS Jun 24 13:37:51 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: Tripp Lite Jun 24 13:37:51 localhost kernel: hid-generic 0003:09AE:2012.0006: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS ] on usb-0000:02:02.0-2.1/input0 Jun 24 13:38:06 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: USB disconnect, device number 8 Jun 24 13:38:06 localhost chronyd[5489]: Selected source 74.208.235.60 Jun 24 13:38:09 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: new low-speed USB device number 9 using uhci_hcd Jun 24 13:38:09 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=09ae, idProduct=2012 Jun 24 13:38:09 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jun 24 13:38:09 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Product: Tripp Lite UPS Jun 24 13:38:09 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: Tripp Lite Jun 24 13:38:09 localhost kernel: hid-generic 0003:09AE:2012.0007: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS ] on usb-0000:02:02.0-2.1/input0 Jun 24 13:38:25 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: USB disconnect, device number 9 Jun 24 13:38:25 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: new low-speed USB device number 10 using uhci_hcd Jun 24 13:38:26 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=09ae, idProduct=2012 Jun 24 13:38:26 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jun 24 13:38:26 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Product: Tripp Lite UPS Jun 24 13:38:26 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: Tripp Lite Jun 24 13:38:26 localhost kernel: hid-generic 0003:09AE:2012.0008: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS ] on usb-0000:02:02.0-2.1/input0 Jun 24 13:38:40 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: USB disconnect, device number 10 Jun 24 13:38:43 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: new low-speed USB device number 11 using uhci_hcd Jun 24 13:38:43 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=09ae, idProduct=2012 Jun 24 13:38:43 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jun 24 13:38:43 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Product: Tripp Lite UPS Jun 24 13:38:43 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: Tripp Lite Jun 24 13:38:43 localhost kernel: hid-generic 0003:09AE:2012.0009: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS ] on usb-0000:02:02.0-2.1/input0 Jun 24 13:38:58 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: USB disconnect, device number 11 Jun 24 13:39:01 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: new low-speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd Jun 24 13:39:01 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=09ae, idProduct=2012 Jun 24 13:39:01 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jun 24 13:39:01 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Product: Tripp Lite UPS Jun 24 13:39:01 localhost kernel: usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: Tripp Lite Jun 24 13:39:01 localhost kernel: hid-generic 0003:09AE:2012.000A: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS ] on usb-0000:02:02.0-2.1/input0 Thank you, David Zomaya Technical Support [cid:image002.png@01D52A8D.29F4C4C0] 1111 W. 35th Street | Chicago, IL 60609 USA 773.869.1156 | david_zom...@tripplite.com [cid:image004.png@01D52A8D.29F4C4C0]<http://www.tripplite.com/> From: David Zomaya <david_zom...@tripplite.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2019 8:28 AM To: Greg Oliver <oliver.g...@gmail.com> Cc: nut-upsuser@alioth-lists.debian.net; Jonathan Manzanilla <jonathan_manzani...@tripplite.com>; Eric Cobb <eric_c...@tripplite.com> Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Nut-upsuser] Fixing Drops With SMART1500LCDXL & USB-HID Driver Hi Greg, I haven’t but I will give that a shot later this week and advise.

My name is David Zomaya and I work at Tripp Lite in our technical support department. Copied on this email are Eric Cobb from our Product Management group & Jonathan Manzanilla tech support subject matter expert for our single phase UPS product lines. Recently, we received a complaint about our SMART1500LCDXL dropping and reconnecting in different Linux Operating Systems.A fter some in-house testing, the behavior seems to be reproducible on a number of different *nix operating systems (Windows seems fine).

After some trial and error (and a lot of search engine use), I was able to find that the following configuration changes/settings stop the drops and stabilize performance: 1) This in the ups.conf file pollinterval = 1 [TrippLiteUPS] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto desc = "SMART1500LCD" 2) The attached 62-nut-usbups.rules file at /etc/udev/rules.d/ 3) The attached 42-usb-hid-pm.rules /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ Below is some other information that may be relevant regarding my testing. • I installed using the command “yum install nut.x86_64” • Operating system version: CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) • Network UPS Tools version Network UPS Tools upsd 2.7.2 I’m not the most well-versed in Network UPS Tools, so I am not sure how “good” of a solution this is. I can however, get you more information on our product and testing if that helps. The questions I have are: 1) Does the above seem like a “good” way to address this problem? (given that the drops are something we need to look into on our end) 2) Is there a good way to get this fix implemented in the driver? 3) Have you had any reports of similar issues? 4) While we are communicating, are there any other open Tripp Lite items I could help your team(s) with? No promises, but if I can help I’d like to. Thanks for your time.

I have had to do this in later kernels. You said you are running CentOS 7 and I have not had to do it there, but I do have USB devices that do the exact same thing without that option. -Greg ________________________________ This message is for the addressee's use only.
