[Nut-upsuser] your Tripp-Lite AVR550U

[Peter Selinger]

Hi Patrick,

in February, you tried to post the below message to the nut-upsuser
list, but the post was rejected because you were not subscribed to the
list. Unfortunately, you did not subscribe and re-post it.

Anyway, I have been working on Tripp-Lite support for newhidups
recently, and I wonder if you have any feedback. Did you ever get this
device to work?

>From the information you sent, it looks like it quite might be a
proper HID power class device (not serial-over-usb). If you could run
(as root)

 newhidups -u root -DD -x generic -x vendorid=09ae auto

we might be able to confirm whether this is the case. In case the
above test succeeds, I might be able to add explicit support for this
device to newhidups.  It's the only device with device ID 09ae:1003
that I have seen so far. 

Thanks, -- Peter
