[Nut-upsuser] Adding tripplite smart1500 UPS to tripplite_usb

[Brian Mathis]

Hello,

I have a Tripplite SMART1500 UPS, and I'm having a little luck with the
tripplite_usb driver.  Only a LITTLE though.  It's working better than any
of the other drivers I've tried, but I'm not getting a status from it.
Here's the output of upsc:
battery.voltage: 0.00
battery.voltage.nominal: 36
driver.name: tripplite_usb
driver.parameter.port: /dev/hiddev0
driver.version: 2.1.0
driver.version.internal: 0.6
input.voltage: 119
input.voltage.nominal: 120
ups.debug.D: 37 37 38 37 0d 00 00 '7787...'
ups.debug.M: 30 30 38 31 0d 00 00 '0081...'
ups.debug.S: 31 34 30 00 5a 30 0d '140.Z0.'
ups.debug.T: 39 44 32 35 37 31 0d '9D2571.'
ups.delay.shutdown: 64
ups.firmware: F1092.D
ups.load: 23
ups.mfr: Tripp Lite
ups.model: SMART1500
ups.power.nominal: 1500
ups.status:

It seems to be reading some things, but not the all important ups.status.
Anyone have any ideas?  Is there anything I can do to help a devloper figure
this out?  I'm quite savvy, just not in writing drivers :)

Thanks
