[Nut-upsuser] contineously receiving the same values

Hello,

I'm trying to get an energenie EG-UPS-033 
(http://energenie.com/item.aspx?id=8087) to work with nut. It standard 
comes with linux software (UPSmart), which shows the input/output 
voltage, load level, input frequency. and battery  and case temperature. 
The values change about every second. The selected monitor mode in this 
tool is Mega(USB). The bad thing of this tool that it requires an X 
server, and does not provide a command line version.

with NUT, I am able to connect to the UPS using the  blazer_usb and 
nutdrv_qx. However, the reported values are constant, and only change if 
I run the UPSmart tool (It can run in parallel). What can I do to get 
NUT to receive updated values?
I already tried the various subdrivers, and langid_fix , but to no avail.

Is there a way to sniff the USB communication of the UPSmart?


thanks a lot for your help,
Marc

here my details:

  *

    OS name and version,: ubuntu 14.04.1 64bit

  *

    exact NUT version: 2.74

  *

    NUT installation method: from source tarball, package or Subversion,
    compiled from source tarball

  *

    exact device name and related information (manufacturing date, web
    pointers, …), energenie EG-UPS-033
    (http://energenie.com/item.aspx?id=8087)

  *

    complete problem description, with any relevant traces, like system
    log excerpts, and driver debug output. You can obtain the latter
    using the following command, as root and after having stopped NUT:
