[Nut-upsuser] PowerWalker VFI 2000 RT LCD

Thu Jan 19 14:27:33 UTC 2017

Hi all, 

I have problem with UPS from PowerWalker model VFI 2000 RT LCD over USB
(didn't try serial yet). 

UPS should work via HID driver but ups.status is not rendered properly.
Specification of UPS says USB HID compatible. 

HID driver is the only one which talks with UPS as i try a few from
/lib/nut. 

I use driver usbhid-ups (which communicate with ups), but subdriver
resolving is automatic (no subdriver param), as i read source code this
driver uses usb manufacture signature (vendorid/productid) to choose
subdriver so there was no chance to more tests, just few params
(pollonly, pollfreq, maxreport). 

But... Help needed ! 

OS: Debian Jessie (Proxmox 4.3 distro)
NUT: 2.7.2
driver: usbhid-ups 

#cat ups.conf
[ups]
 driver = usbhid-ups
 port = auto
 vendorid = 06da
 productid = 0005
 pollonly
 pollfreq = 15 

# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 06da:0005 Phoenixtec Power Co., Ltd
[..cut..] 

When UPS is Online:
# upsc ups 
Init SSL without certificate database
device.mfr: PPC
device.model: USB UPS
device.type: ups
driver.flag.pollonly: enabled
driver.name: usbhid-ups
driver.parameter.pollfreq: 15
driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2
driver.parameter.port: auto
driver.parameter.productid: 0005
driver.parameter.vendorid: 06da
driver.version: 2.7.2
driver.version.data: Liebert HID 0.3
driver.version.internal: 0.38
ups.mfr: PPC
ups.model: USB UPS
ups.productid: 0005
ups.status: OB
ups.vendorid: 06da

The ups.status is permanently OB, there is no change when UPS goes
OL/OB.

Explore mode off: 

# upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.2
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.2)
USB communication driver 0.32
Using subdriver: Liebert HID 0.3 

Is there chance to try other subdriver then Liebert or make it work
properly with this UPS?
