I recently purchased a CyberPower CP1200AVR UPS and am trying to get NUT 2.0.3 or NUT 2.1.0 to work with the newhidups driver, but am having little success. Before I purchased I did some googling and saw people talking about problems so I'm guessing it may not be supported yet? I did find some posts about people getting it to (sort of) work with some hacks, but couldn't tell if they ever got submitted to the NUT development team. I also found some posts about the CyberPower 900AVR/BC900D having issues, and it looks like I am having the same problems as the person trying to use that UPS. Namely, I see these messages in syslog: kernel: usb 1-2: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd newhidups rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110 I don't have much experience in protocol decoding, but I am a software engineer and I'd like to help get this UPS supported by NUT. Does anyone know the status of the support for the CyberPower CP1200AVR or have anything new to try? Rob

Yes, I'd be very interested in getting a copy of your driver which works with the CP1200AVR. Does your cpsups driver support USB connections or only serial? Also, which NUT release is it based on/work with (2.0.x or 2.1)?
