I'm trying to configure sysutils/nut to work with my new UPS, a CP1000PFCLCD. This shows up like so:
According to the NUT HCL, this is supported by the usbhid-ups driver. A few configuration files later and I have, for ups.conf
However, when trying to start upsd (as root for testing), I get:
Reading around, I've seen recommendations for using "port = auto", but that fails with the same error. So, if I can see it in dmesg, usbconfig, and in /dev/, why does upsd have so much trouble finding it? Anything else I should be doing to debug? Unfortunately the docs aren't that great, so I've been mostly relying on guides and other users' experiences, many of which are from FBSD 7.x/8.x, or FreeNAS, which has web configuration, so is of much less help.
Edit: found a little more info on debugging. Tried another USB port, where it shows up as ugen2.2 and ran:
So, is this device just not supported? I seem to recall reading that certain UPS devices had to be blacklisted from ugen, so that the correct driver (uhid?) could attach... [Edit: Whoops, that was the reverse that people were talking about, i.e. blacklisting it from uhid so ugen could attach]
