We do have this in the FAQ, though I realize we don't have many links from the main user manual:

https://networkupstools.org/docs/FAQ.html#_my_usb_ups_is_supported_but_doesn_8217_t_work

I made a note to update this: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/696

Was the AUR package missing a udev entry for that UPS? If so, is it in the upstream NUT repository? The UDEV files are generated from the C source of the drivers, so in your case, that would be this table:

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/drivers/cps-hid.c#L56

Another possibility is that the AUR package puts the udev file in the wrong place relative to other system-provided udev files, as was the case in Debian:

https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/140

If the AUR package doesn't run the udevadm command that you mentioned as part of its postinstall script (or equivalent script), I would recommend that you file a bug with the packagers.
