Nut upsdev - May 2006 - Yet another HID device - Cyberpower AE550

Hope it's not too rude to just drop this here for y'all...

Checking device (0764/0501) (001/005)
- VendorID: 0764
- ProductID: 0501
- Manufacturer: CPS
- Product: UPS AE550
- Serial Number: unknown

This one and their 485 don't provide a load measurement -- the Windows
drivers kick it onto battery for a timed period and measure the drain to guess
the runtime -- apparently all their other HID models do offer it.  (See the note
hidden on item 7 of the 'Status Window' documentation:
http://cyberpowersystems.com/pp_pe.asp)


Also, Ubuntu's package of 2.0.3 doesn't populate /etc/hotplug/usb; I
can't tell if that's really a problem or not.

Hi Joe,

I read between the lines that (a) you are using the newhidups driver,
and (b) it is working. Is this correct? You might want to post the
output of "upsc" just for the record. 

A load measurement is not really essential, although it is nice to
have. Shutdown is usually initiated based on remaining battery
capacity.

strange, there should be these 2 files :
/etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups
/etc/hotplug/usb/libhid.usermap

Maybe these have not been flushed, or some errors occurs.
You can try to force reinstall (using "apt-get install --reinstall
nut-usb").
If these are still not there, tell me so and I'll send you.

These files are still needed as my current debs are still on a
migration path (read, can support both old hotplug systems and new
udev ones).
The next release, probably with 2.0.4, will only ship udev support.
