Nut upsuser - Feb 2008 - "No matching HID UPS found" with TrippLite SMX1500LCD

Hi list-

I'm having problems with TrippLite SMX1500LCD not being detected by
NUT under FreeBSD 6.3-RC2. NUT 2.2.1 was installed from ports with the
following options:

WITH_USB=true
WITH_SNMP=true
WITHOUT_IPV6=true
WITH_LIBUPSCLIENT=true
WITH_CGI=true

I use USB cable shipped with TrippLite and 'usbdevs -v' shows the
following:

...
Controller /dev/usb2:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000),
Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00
port 1 powered
port 2 addr 2: low speed, power 100 mA, config 1, TRIPP LITE
UPS(0x2005), Tripp Lite(0x09ae), rev 0.10
...

According to http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html it
looks like SMX1500LCD is supported (by usbhid-ups).

However, whenever I try to start nut I see the following error:

No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

Here is my ups.conf:

[tripplite]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = /dev/usb2

I've been reading archives mentioning similar error message and tried
to get more information by executing
'/usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups -a tripplite -DDDD' but still got
the same error:

Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.32 (2.2.1)
debug level is '4'
upsdrv_initups...
No appropriate HID device found
No matching HID UPS found

#cat /etc/devfs.conf
perm    usb2    0660
own     usb2    root:uucp

#cat /etc/devfs.rules
[nut_usb=10]
add path 'uhid0' group wheel user uucp mode 0660

Anyone with the similar UPS? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks.

It seems that this product is not known. Could you please try to add  
an entry for it in src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs ?

Hi,

NUT support for USB HID on FreeBSD is still experimental at the
moment, but you may be able to get the driver to detect the UPS by
removing the uhid driver from the kernel. Since we use libusb and not
the uhid API, the uhid kernel driver prevents libusb from seeing the
UPS.
