Hi, Has anyone managed to get a Plexus UPS talking to their NAS. I've followed the excellent instructions here http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182 <http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182&t=35970&start=0> &t=35970&start=0 but I'm not there yet.
When I manually start upsdrvctl without the UPS plugged in I get [~] # /usr/bin/upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1 Network UPS Tools - Megatec protocol driver 1.6 (2.4.1) Serial-over-USB transport layer 0.10 No supported devices found. Please check your device availability with 'lsusb' and make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If this does not help, try running the driver with at least 'vendorid' and 'subdriver' options specified. Please refer to the man page for details about these options (man 8 megatec_usb). Please report your results to the NUT user's mailing list <nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org>. Driver failed to start (exit status=1) [~] # When I plug the UPS in I get [~] # /usr/bin/upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1 Network UPS Tools - Megatec protocol driver 1.6 (2.4.1) Serial-over-USB transport layer 0.10 Can't claim USB device [0001:0000]: could not detach kernel driver from interface 0: Operation not permitted Driver failed to start (exit status=1) My ups.conf looks like this [qnapups] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto mfr = "Plexus" model = "Plexus 500VA UPS" desc = "Workstation" pollinterval=1 ignoreoff lsusb shows before the UPS is plugged in [~] # lsusb Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:10b0 Canon, Inc.
