[Nut-upsuser] TrippLite Eco Series UPS

[Lindsey Chesnutt]

I purchased a TrippLite ECO550UPS from Amazon a few days ago thinking
I was going to use it for my Windows Media Center HTPC. I've since
changed my mind and decided to use Mythbuntu but it I can't get my UPS
working with nut. I've tried all of the tripplite drivers and the
usbhid-ups driver. The tripplite_usb and usbhid_ups output is listed
below. The tripplite and tripplitesu drivers gave me an "Unable to
open auto: No such file or directory".

My UPS isn't listed in the supported hardware documentation but I
thought I might get lucky and one of the drivers work anyways. Are
there any plans to add support? I'll happily get whatever information
is needed.

Thanks!
Lindsey

This Tripp Lite device (09ae:1008) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported
by usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If
this does not fix the problem, try running the driver with the
'-x productid=1008' option. Please report your results to the NUT user's
mailing list <nut-upsuser at lists.alioth.debian.org>.
