[Nut-upsuser] Problem with GeekSquad GS-1500 (Cyberpower 1500 avr lcd)

[cybernet_]

I found out that my UPS used over a serial cable is a "dumb" UPS (contact
closure).

I got it working with the genericups driver with type=7 (cyberpower power99)

Thanks

It doesn't look like it uses the same powerpanel protocol as the older
cyberpower system.  I believe one gentleman used the newhidups (now named
hiddev in the trunk, I believe) driver in 2.0.5 to get his working on the
USB port.  

If you are able to capture the serial port communications from your ups
using portmon
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/portmon.mspx), more
than likely we could add your protocol to the powerpanel driver.
