[Nut-upsdev] Trying to get basic info from a CST1400S on Windows

[Glen Bakeman]

I'm currently on Windows 10 and want to setup a NUT server so I can 
retrieve basic information and do some testing with a client program. By 
my own research, it looks like the Cyber Power CST1400S isn't officially 
supported, and I'm using the latest build of the Windows binaries 
(2.8.0.93-master) so I'm hoping I can troubleshoot here and get 
something running on my machine.

nut-scanner reports:

 > nut-scanner.exe
Cannot load XML library (libneon) : The specified module could not be 
found.. XML search disabled.
Scanning USB bus.
No start IP, skipping NUT bus (old connect method)
[nutdev1]
         driver = "usbhid-ups"
         port = "auto"
         vendorid = "0764"
         productid = "0501"
         product = "CP1500PFCLCD"
         serial = "000000000000"
         vendor = "CPS"
         bus = "002"

So I've inserted this into a ups.conf file and appended a /pollonly = 
"enabled"/ line to work around an I/O error in the driver. I've also 
created barebones upsd.conf and upsd.users files to make upsd happy. 
upsd starts up ok, although /upsc nutdev1 at localhost ups.status/ reports 
"OB" so it seems like it's not reading correctly. Is there anything left 
I can do to get a good reading from my UPS?
