[Nut-upsuser] PowerWalker VFI 2000 RT LCD

Thu Jan 19 16:28:13 UTC 2017

Works with nutdrv_qx ..YEAH :-)

Its a bit quirky to reply myself but maybe this can help someone.

I tried to find all distro's HID drivers:
#grep HID /lib/nut/*
Binary file /lib/nut/blazer_usb matches
Binary file /lib/nut/mge-shut matches
Binary file /lib/nut/nutdrv_qx matches
Binary file /lib/nut/oldmge-shut matches
Binary file /lib/nut/riello_usb matches
Binary file /lib/nut/tripplite_usb matches
Binary file /lib/nut/usbhid-ups matches

..and then tried nutdrv_qx
[ups]
 driver = nutdrv_qx
 port = auto
 vendorid = 06da
 productid = 0005

#upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.2
Network UPS Tools - Generic Q* USB/Serial driver 0.06 (2.7.2)
USB communication driver 0.32
Using protocol: Q1 0.02
Can't autodetect number of battery packs [-1/2.31]
Battery runtime will not be calculated (runtimecal not set)

Finally...
ups.conf:
[ups]
 # UPS: PowerWalker VFI 2000 RT LCD
 driver = nutdrv_qx
 port = auto
 vendorid = 06da
 productid = 0005
 protocol = megatec
