It seems that the UPS I bought is actually served by the blazer_usb driver.
USB ids 06da:0003 (lsusb DB thinks it's a "Phoenixtec Power Co., Ltd 1300VA
UPS", but this has apparantly been re-used by Eaton 5E2200USB-LA)
It's sold as an Eaton 5E 1,100W 2,200VA 6-Outlet UPS
SKU: 147140 Mfr Part #: 5E2200USB-LA UPC: 743172064875
http://www.microcenter.com/product/470131/5E_1,100W_2,200VA_6-Outlet_UPS
"The Eaton 5E is an essential line interactive UPS that provides cost
effective and reliable power protection against power outages and bad power
quality. Thanks to its small size the 5E can be installed easily in a
business environment or at home."
I can only assume that the usbhid-ups driver guesses the manufacturer as
the first whole name in the data-strings if it doesn't reccognize it.
Additional research in to the USB device ID lead to news articles from
2008(!) about Eaton aquiring Phoneixtek. I'm not sure if this is some UPS
that's been sitting on a shelf for years or not . . . :(
# cat >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-nut.rules << "HEREDOC"
SYSFS{idVendor}=="06da", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="664", GROUP="nut"
HEREDOC
# udevadm control --reload-rules
I think I recall hearing systemd ate udev?
# systemctl daemon-reload
Then I disconnected/reconnected the UPS, since that was faster than looking
up re-triggering udev rules.
# cat >> /etc/ups/ups.conf << HEREDOC
[eaton5e]
driver = blazer_usb
port = auto
vendorid = 06da
productid = 0003
HEREDOC
I still need to perform the following calibrations:
default.battery.voltage.high = value
Maximum battery voltage that is reached after about 12 to 24 hours
charging. If you want the driver to report a guesstimated battery.charge,
you need to specify this (see BATTERY CHARGE).
default.battery.voltage.low = value
Minimum battery voltage just before the UPS automatically shuts down. If
you want the driver to report a guesstimated battery.charge, you need to
specify this (see BATTERY CHARGE).
runtimecal = tShigh,pLhigh,tSmed,pLmed (timeSeconds and 'percent load'
high/low)
The first doesn't sound that difficult, it's mostly just waiting. The
second and third values... THOSE are a lot more difficult with older
incandescent light bulbs difficult to find.
