<div>I took a look at <a href="https://github.com/dmacias72/NUT-unRAID/">https://github.com/dmacias72/NUT-unRAID/</a> plugin source (not sure it is the one you have, just the first recent plugin from googling).</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Unfortunately it does not seem to reference actual NUT source well, nor a plugin version, but just hoards several timestamped tarballs with binaries. By commit comments it seems that at least at some point they used the "libusb-0.1+1.0" branch
which is one of our attempts to handle modern libusb-1 in NUT (note none of the attempts yet were merged to master or released "officially", but we are on it). </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I can't quickly say if latest plugin builds are based on that too, or if you may have a mismatch with drivers last built for libusb-0.1 trying to use libusb-1.0 on the server. APIs differ so such mismatch might cause crashes, or just fail to
start if dynamic linking detects it.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">As for ups.conf, I think you should try a minimal config like:</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">[powercool]</div>
<div dir="auto">driver=nutdrv_atcl_usb</div>
<div dir="auto">port=auto</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">(port probably may refer to /dev/usb/... if that is persistent across boots and device plugs, but does not have to).</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">What also comes to mind are issues with linux user privileges - whether that account which runs NUT may connect to USB device nodes. But if nut-scanner worked, probably that is okay.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">If you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.ups, in the line which starts upsdrvctl you can add debugging with -DDDDDD which should show its attempts to find the USB device and possible griefs it may have along the way.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:sans-serif">Note that currently, an enabled debugging mode may preclude backgrounding of the driver or other NUT daemons so not sure if you'd need to add & to the end of line so upsdrvctl is backgrounded still.</span><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Or if you have shell access, similarly you can run </div>
<div dir="auto"> /usr/libexec/nut/nutdrv_atcl_usb -DDDDDD -a powercool</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Hope that helps,</div>

<div>In NUT under unRAID there is indeed a setting to enter a driver in. </div>

<div>Which driver are you suggesting I try as nutdrv_qx makes NUT work, but no communication between NUT and the UPS. </div>

<div>I believe nutdrv_atcl_usb is orthogonal to nutdrv_qx "fuji" subdriver. They both handle devices using an "ATCL" USB chip which does not have a registered vendorId/productId, but that is where similarity stops. Different UPS vendors implemented different
