[Nut-upsdev] APC SmartUPS 1500 not working for newhidups and usbhid-ups

[Edwin Chiu]

Hi,

Can't get newhidups (2.0.5) or usbhid-ups (SVN trunk) to work

2.0.5 hidups seems to work, but I was hoping for more information... 
like temperature, etc.

Tried newhidups and usbhid-ups, but they don't seem to detect my UPS... 
should I switch back to serial? Will I get more information? (trying not 
to move back to apcupsd, since i have a mixed environment)

Here is some debug output (newhidups looks about the same)

./usbhid-ups -DD /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0
