I think it's very likely that this is an HA issue not a NUT issue.

I have run it, but only with 1 UPS.

It is IMHO a clue that the entities have display names that don't include the
device name (even if the nerd-name does).  For example, I have a UPS
named "foo" (not its real name :-) and I get

  sensor.foo_ups_input_voltage
  V_in

Instead the display name defaulting to "Foo V_in".

It looks like your YAML was munged.   But the documentation
  https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nut
says to set up the integration via the UI.

I have an entry for my UPS in
.homeassistant/.storage/core.config_entries

In theory, a second instance should work fine, and if not it's a bug.

But you'll have to be on 2022.8 and use the UI before they want to hear
about it, probably.

I'm surprised to see driver; that's configured in NUT and HA shouldn't
care.

again these two are surprising.
