Nut upsuser - Jan 2010 - Strange problem with two Cyberpower UPS'es

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm in the process of upgrading my solution to spread the load over two
ups'es.

Both are Cyberpower, where one is the classic "Intelligent" 1500LCD,
the
other a "Value" 2200E

Both connect via UPS, and both work using the ups-hid driver. So far so
good.

The idea is to connect both of them via USB to the same FreeBSD 8
server, and here the headache starts.

Both identify themselves as 0x0764/0x0501, one on /dev/ugen3.5 the other
on /dev/ugen4.2.

The relevant parts of my ups.conf is the following:

[1500LCD]
        driver = "usbhid-ups"
        vendorid=0764
        productid=0501
        vendor=CPS
        port = /dev/ugen3.5
        desc = "My Cyberpower 1500 LCD"

[2200LCD]
        driver = "usbhid-ups"
        vendorid=0764
        productid=0501
        vendor=CPS
        port = /dev/ugen4.2
        desc = "My Cyberpower 2200 LCD"

Looks nice and tidy.

However when the usbhid driver starts, it promptly binds both instances
to the first ups, blatantly ignoring the port statement.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Not at all.

Read 'man 8 usbhid-ups'. Both UPSes need to be uniquely identified  
through the regular expressions. The ones you specified are the same  
for both devices, so they are not unique. It will also tell you that  
the 'port' value will be ignored, so basically both entries are  
identical now.
