[Nut-upsuser] Anyone successfully used NUT with the Eaton "5E Essential UPS"

[Leith Bade]

Hi Shane,

Sounds like the same error I am getting.

Have you tried rebooting the UPS? (turn it off with the power button
then back on and reboot your computer)

I find that fixes it for a the current session, until I reboot the
computer a few times then it stops again.
Thanks,
Leith Bade
