Had a bit more of a play with this and still couldn't make it work. Ive tried this now also on openindiana with the latest nut - same issue works for 5 minutes then drops out with stale data errors (at the same time as the permission errors in BSD). Ive played with the polling times out to 30 seconds and this hasn't made a difference. Also when it does go to stale data it wont also detect again (I had the same problems on free bsd) For example: paul@indy:/opt/nut/bin# ./blazer_usb -u root -DDD -a trust Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.09 (2.6.5) 0.000000 debug level is '3' 0.093158 Checking device (0665/5161) (/dev/usb/665.5161/0) 0.100375 - VendorID: 0665 0.100413 - ProductID: 5161 0.100433 - Manufacturer: INNO TECH 0.100455 - Product: USB to Serial 0.100475 - Serial Number: 20100826 0.100493 - Bus: /dev/usb 0.100513 Trying to match device 0.100533 Device matches 0.100601 Trying megatec protocol... 0.101337 send: Q1 0.351941 read: (248.5 248.5 248.5 003 50.0 13.6 25.0 00001001 0.352107 Status read in 1 tries 0.352139 Supported UPS detected with megatec protocol 0.352710 send: F 0.511933 read: #240.0 003 12.00 50.0 0.511997 Ratings read in 1 tries 0.512731 send: I 0.571931 read: I 0.571972 blazer_vendor: short reply 0.571994 Vendor information read 1 failed 0.572876 send: I 0.641968 read: I 0.642009 blazer_vendor: short reply 0.642031 Vendor information read 2 failed 0.642748 send: I 0.701980 read: I 0.702021 blazer_vendor: short reply 0.702042 Vendor information read 3 failed 0.702066 Vendor information unavailable 0.702087 No values provided for battery high/low voltages in ups.conf 0.702120 Using 'guestimation' (low: 10.400000, high: 13.000000)! 0.702142 Battery runtime will not be calculated (runtimecal not set) 0.702718 send: Q1 0.961973 read: (248.5 248.5 249.0 003 50.0 13.6 25.0 00001001 0.962584 dstate_init: sock /var/ups/blazer_usb-trust open on fd 7 0.963367 send: Q1 1.211876 read: (249.0 248.5 248.5 003 50.0 13.6 25.0 00001001 2.962548 send: Q1 3.231991 read: (248.5 248.5 248.5 003 50.0 13.6 25.0 00001001 4.952462 send: Q1 5.211943 read: (248.5 249.0 248.5 003 50.0 13.6 25.0 00001001 6.942513 send: Q1 7.201996 read: (249.0 248.5 248.5 003 50.0 13.6 25.0 00001001 ^C Then after it drops out: paul@indy:/opt/nut/bin# ./blazer_usb -u root -DDD -a trust Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.09 (2.6.5) 0.000000 debug level is '3' 3.972638 Checking device (0000/0000) (/dev/usb/665.5161/0) 8.949923 Failed to open device, skipping. (Invalid argument) 8.983461 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 'subdriver', 'vendorid' and 'productid' options specified. Please refer to the man page for details about these options (man 8 blazer). Any suggestions where to next? Im considering tossing the UPS and buying an APC.
