  Does the ups not support this command ?
 
 It might support it, but not in the USB HID PDC paths that we  
 recognize. If this is supported by this UPS, it is probably in a  
 vendor specific path. Unless someone is able to provide the mapping,  
 we have no idea which one.
 
 Search the archives for more information about this issue. It has  
 popped up several times over past few years. Sadly nobody has reported  
 the solution to this and since none of the active NUT developers owns  
 such a device, this likely is going to stay that way.

Arjen,

I have been using usb APC units (CS 500 and SmartUPS 1000) with nut for some 6 
years. I got this to work after extensive trawling of the net and found a fix 
involving changing the source and recompiling usbhid-ups (or hidups as it used 
to be).

Now the bad news. Although I am still using the recompiled version of hidups 
and 
(64 bit) usbhid-ups, I have stupidly lost the source and my notes. :-(  Is it 
any use to you to have the executables?

This has been driving me nuts for the last week, as I now have another CS 500 
to 
install, and only a 5 year old version of hidups to do it with!

Regards,
Kevin.

It's sad that you never submitted these changes back to NUT, so that  
other people might benefit from them.

No.

Have you tried the latest version (nut-2.6.0) that was released only a  
couple of days ago? Chances are that it might just work, since we have  
seen reports about people running the CS 500 in recent years.


Best regards, Arjen
