I apologise if I've sent this question to the wrong place/e-mail! I'm new to the site! I was wondering if anyone could help me... I downloaded Network UPS Tools yesterday so that I could receive e-mail notifications of when my UPS switched to battery power.
I got it up and running and was working brilliantly! Then, after a while I tested the system by switching off power to my UPS.... I wasn't receiving any e-mail notifications! I was puzzled by this given it had worked perfectly fine just a few minutes (or an
hour) before! I then ran the nut-server status command and saw the following error:</div>

I checked the web and given I have a CyberPower UPS it seemed I had the correct driver stated (usbhid-ups). However after running the command usb-devices in the terminal it indicated that the driver associated with the UPS was 'usbfs'? I changed this in the
conf file but no luck <span id="🙁" title=":slightly_frowning:">🙁 </span></div>
