[Nut-upsuser] Tripp-Lite AVR-900U

[Douglas Beach]

Greetings. I have a Tripp-Lite AVR-900U that I am trying to get work with
NUT. (I rather naively bought the thing assuming that since NUT worked with
the AVR-750U, that the same would be so of this model.)

Here's what I've got so far:

# upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
This TrippLite device (09ae:2010) 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=2010' option. Please report your results to the NUT user's
mailing list <nut-upsuser at lists.alioth.debian.org>.

No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

# upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31

I had to add a section in /etc/udev/rules.d/nut-usbups.rules; I just copied
the line for the AVR-750U and changed the id to 2010 and then I got:

 # /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a Tripp-Lite -x productid=2010
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
Using subdriver: TrippLite HID 0.4


That seems OK, but now what? Is there a way to add the "-x productid=2010"
option to the ups.conf? And if I could, should I expect it to work?

Thanks,

Doug
