Also in the terminal you can bump verbosity to the max with `-DDDDDD` option to check what it may complain about, e.g. discovery by device id, etc. Vendors (in any industry) reserve the right and often do exercise it to change components and their id's sometimes, to the point of marketing same names for unrelated devices.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Jim</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 25, 2021, 00:53 Stephan Macey <<a href="mailto:sjmacey28@gmail.com">sjmacey28@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Hi there-</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I emailed you a few weeks ago about the Cyberpower UPS not working so now I have a APC BR1000MS which I know is supported because my co worker has this exact model is able to get it up and running just using the regular local USB, regular HID selection</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I always get stuck at UPS monitor demon pending for the status, eventually it says failed to retrieve status, I'm not sure if I need to specify the driver because its showing in the system logs driver not found?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><img src="cid:ii_klk3diby0" alt="image.png" width="421" height="158" style="margin-right:0px"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Whats strange here is that the other package APCupsd is able to see it perfectly fine:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><img src="cid:ii_klk3erx31" alt="image.png" width="453" height="404" style="margin-right:0px"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Any thoughts?
