I realize it is no longer a common list configuration. Feel free to use "Reply All" in Gmail - I won't get two copies.

Hmm, I upgraded the base install to kernel 4.1.17+ (mine is armv6l - Model B) and tried usbhid-ups with a CyberPower USB UPS. No issues retrieving the Manufacturer, Product and Serial Number strings. I will see if I can try with an APC later.

I don't know if we have ruled out permission problems yet. I had the UPS plugged in when I installed the NUT .debs, and it did not change permissions on the /dev/bus/usb/ node for the UPS. I ran "udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=usb --action=change" and it fixed that issue. (Rebooting after installing the package would also work.)
