Hello Arjen

Thanks for replying to my email. I updated to 2.2.0, and I'm running
into the same problem, but also encountered other issues. After
upgrading to 2.2.0 and using the usbhid-ups driver, I was not able to
get a clean restart of upsd.

/etc/init.d/upsd restart
 * Stopping upsd ...                                              [ ok ]
 * Starting upsd ...
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.2.0-
listening on 0.0.0.0 port 3493
Can't connect to UPS [apc1] (usbhid-ups-apc1): Connection refused [ ok ]

The only way to get this to work was by firing up the driver first,
then starting upsd...

/lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a apc1
Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30
(2.2.0-) Detected a UPS: American Power Conversion/Back-UPS XS 1200

But, now when I issue the upsc apc1 at localhost, I get the same values
(low battery, etc)

upsc apc1 at localhost

So not sure about the startup issue. I guess we'll need to proceed to
driver debug?

Thanks!
