Nut upsuser - Feb 2017 - Copeland Engineering Dockmaster

Hello! I have a Dockmaster from Copeland Engineering. This is a battery 
saver used for a laptop docking station in a police car, which has a USB 
port for relaying its internal timers and state.

hid-generic 0003:04D8:0500.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device 
[Copeland Engineering, LLC Dock Master] on usb-0000:00:10.4-3.3/input0

	I'm able to configure usbhid-ups, but it doesn't seem to detect the 
state of the power (between ignition-on and ignition-off). I do have 
access to the Windows-based configuration utility.

	I'm not quite sure how to tell usbhid-ups how the data is formatted. 
How can I get this device working with nut?

I won't have a chance to look at the data for a few days, but can you grab
some logs from "explore mode"?

http://new.networkupstools.org/docs/developer-guide.chunked/ar01s04.html#hid-subdrivers

In case that link is broken, a slightly older version:

Please gzip the logs before posting, and use reply-all to include the rest of
the list.

Thanks!

Thank you - I have included the capture, and attached it here. USB is 
new to me. I am a good sysadmin, but terrible programmer.

	I was able to use the usbhid-dump utility using -e stream, the last 
octet will report the state of the detected power (1/2 for ignition on, 
3 for ignition off, 0 for powered-off). 4th one seems to be voltage, and 
the 5th and 6th I believe are timers:

003:002:000:STREAM             1487878974.229138
  80 11 03 51 FF FF A3 00

003:003:000:STREAM             1487879404.657687
  00 11 00 55 FF FF A3 01

003:003:000:STREAM             1487879404.665683
  00 11 00 51 FF FF A3 02
