So I just bought one of these fabulous CyberPower UPS devices from BestBuy hoping I could control it with my machine. Luckily, I found NUT! I've got the SVN sources and compiled and installed them but I haven't been able to get it to recognize the usb AE550.
<br><br>When I plug the usb cable in I see this in syslog:<br>Feb 6 22:36:56 mythbox kernel: usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4<br>Feb 6 22:36:56 mythbox kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
<br>Feb 6 22:36:56 mythbox kernel: hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [CPS UPS AE550] on usb-0000:00:02.0-1<br><br>I run lsusb and I see this:<br>$ lsusb<br>Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000<br>Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc.

<br># vendor = "Cyber Power Systems"<br># product = "AE550"<br># vendorid = 0764<br># productid = 0501<br> desc = "MythBox"<br><br>When I run upsdrvctl start I get this:<br>$ ./upsdrvctl start
<br>Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.1.0<br>Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.1.0)<br><br>No matching HID UPS found<br>Driver failed to start (exit status=1)<br><br><br>I have tried everything in attempt to get this recognized. As you can see in my conf file I tried supplying the values I recieved in lsusb and the vendor and product names. I've tried doing that at the command line as well running usbhid-ups -x vendor=CyberPower. I've also tried supplying usbhid-ups with the device name /dev/usb/hiddev0 or /dev/usbdev1.4_ep00 or /dev/usbdev1.4_ep81 (not sure what these are but I think they all represent the ups). I've created a user for the software to use and set the permissions correctly. What am I missing??
<br><br>BTW: I'm running 64bit version of Debian. I didn't have any problems with the compile or install.<br><br>Thanks,<br>-Greg<br><br>
