[Nut-upsdev] Belkin F6C100-UNV + newhidups

[James Rose]

I'll concede my config files were all screwed up, and I was missing a few
(including upsd.conf).  Thanks for the pointers.

It's strange that the debian packages didn't create any of the
configuration files in /etc/nut (but they were in the
/usr/share/doc/nut/examples).  I can't recall another package that
doesn't.  Perhaps that's worthy of filing a debian bug.


FYI, I had tried calling the driver with the productid code (it's just not
the example I posted [sorry]).  The results were the same.

# /lib/nut/newhidups -D 3 -x productid=0910 /dev/usb/hiddev0

Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.0.5)

debug level is '1'
This particular Belkin device (050d/0910) is not (or perhaps not yet)
supported by newhidups. Try running the driver with the '-x productid=0910'
option. Please report your results to the NUT developer's mailing list.

No matching HID UPS found


=======For my own sanity=======

# ls -l /dev/usb/hiddev0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 96 Feb 15 15:34 /dev/usb/hiddev0


=======Also tried with productid enabled and disabled in ups.conf=======

# upsdrvctl  -D start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.5
Starting UPS: myups
Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.0.5)

No matching HID UPS found
