Hi Matt,

first, note that Russell (Kroll) is retired for long.
Support request should go to the NUT Users list, which needs subscription.

I do have some questions:
> 1) is the USB HID driver the appropriate choice here?
>
yes

> 2) the manufacturer feature list for this device indicates that there
> are 3 separately addressable output groups on the back, and that the
> factory management software ought to be able to bring up/down loads 1,
> 2, or 3 independently.  I don't see a mechanism/exposure of this in
NUT.

if your UPS *and* your driver support outlets, then you have an outlet
collection displayed, part of the data.

a debug output of the driver is also needed:
$ sudo /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -D -a <upsname>
after having stopped the running instance (using "sudo upsdrvctl
stop")
you'll get a dump of the data, then a "Detected..." message where
you can
break.

cheers,
