Hi Arnaud,

Thanks for the suggestion.

when using mge-shut:

$ sudo /lib/nut/mge-shut -DDD -a ups1
Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/SHUT driver 0.68 (2.4.1)
debug level is '3'
entering upsdrv_initups()
entering setline(1)

entering shut_ups_start()

sent: (1 bytes) => 16

No communication with UPS

And when using usbhid-ups:

Trying to match device
Device does not match - skipping
No appropriate HID device found
No matching HID UPS found
