HI I'm planning to have 8 or even more UPS-es monitored by the same system, Those cyberpower units are very cost effective. Adding each hub or other adapter per each usb raises the overall cost so I would prefer if it could be a software only solution.
Can we have a libusb proxy that would reliably distinguish the device by help of kernel, rewrite their bus number (or serial number whatever is easier) and present modified tree to the nut? so nut would connect to the libusb proxy and "see" different devices? Can nut drive this cyberpower device from kernel usbhid* device instead of libusb, so udev could be used to enumerate devices in hubbed ports and make constant /dev/usbhid* On 3/18/08, Charles Lepple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 9:39 AM, davor emard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > usbhid-ups is capable to distinguish devices from the Bus > > they are connected to, but as all are at the same hub the bus > > is the same.
