[Nut-upsuser] SOS : Help needed for UPS Centralion Blazer 2000VA USB

Hello,

I leave a mail here because I can't find any solution in order to get the
nut working with this UPS despite I search everywhere on the net.

I've bought this UPS recently after that an MGE-UPS Ellipse 1200 USB burn.

I've those information about the UPS :

Reseller link : http://www.alpha-power-technologie.com/images/GPi-usb.pdf

In his catalogue, the product is called Global Power GPi-2000BZ

This UPS has monitoring software called Winpower
2.0(http://www.ups-software-download.com/) which is developed by
Centralion.

My system is a Debian Sarge 3.1 with a 2.4.32 kernel and built-in HID USB
support. (this kernel was working perfectly well with the MGE-UPS HID UPS
Ellipse 1200 and nut driver newhidups)

I've tried to set up winpower under debian but get an RMI server failure at
boot. I also see that the setup script wasn't set correctly for Debian,
even
after fixed PATH variables and right rc.d scripts...

So I went back on nut and tried to solve this problem.

On the Centralion Web site I found an UPS that seems to be the same as mine
(blazer 2000VA Spec.
http://www.centralion.com/html/product/back-Product-ups-blazer1000-spec.htm
and brochure
http://www.centralion.com/dm-download/Blazer1-2K/Blazer1K-2K.zip)

This UPS use megatec protocol over USB I think. Below are details catch
from the console :

When I plug the UPS on the USB port I get :
# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0665:5161

If I do cat /dev/usb/hiddev0 the system seems to be reading on the device
but no characters appears on the console...

If I unplug the UPS the cat /dev/usb/hiddev0 command stop working so I
think the system see the UPS on this device.

The usbview show me this on the device :

If someone could help me, it'll be really nice, as I've tried newhidups -
fentoups - energized drivers without success.

I think my problem come from the USB to serial chipset from Cypress which
is not included into newhidups but it's out of what I can manage.

Best regards,

Guillaume JAOUEN.
