Hi,

Any further insight into this? I notice the first time I run the command above,
I get:

$ sudo usbhid-ups -a usb
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
Using subdriver: TrippLite HID 0.4
libusb_get_report: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy
Got disconnected by another driver: Device or resource busy
Can't initialize data from HID UPS

but the subsequent times, I get:

$ sudo usbhid-ups -a usb
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
Using subdriver: TrippLite HID 0.4
libusb_get_report: No error
Can't initialize data from HID UPS

Any help would be appreciated.
