Nut upsuser - Feb 2012 - CyberPower UPS Help

Hi all.  I'm trying to get a CyberPower OR700LCDRM1U UPS working with NUT
(via USB).  I assumed this would be compatible since the OR2200LCDRM2U is. 
Clearly I'm wrong or missing something vital.

I'm on FreeBSD, using the version of NUT from the ports tree (2.6.1).  FWIW,
I tried compiling from source with similar results.  Here's my UPS in
ups.conf:

[ssups]
  driver=usbhid-ups
  port=auto
  offdelay=60
  ondelay=120

And here's the output of 'usbdevs -v':

Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000),
(0x1166)(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 powered
 port 2 powered
 port 3 powered
 port 4 addr 2: low speed, self powered, config 1, UPS OR700(0x0601),
CPS(0x0764), rev 2.00

Additionally, when I plug it in, I get this on the console:

uhid0: CPS UPS OR700, rev 1.10/2.00, addr 2, iclass 3/0

When I try to start, I get this:

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.1
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.35 (2.6.1)
USB communication driver 0.31
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

I've tried setting the port to /dev/uhid0, but that didn't help.

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks,
--Brian

Writing this up has been on my TODO list forever, but in the mean time,
here's an email thread that talks about blacklisting the UPS from the uhid
driver:

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.nut.user/4575

It's for a slightly different model, but the concept is the same: usbhid-ups
uses libusb, which can only access USB devices with ugen* nodes. The only way to
prevent uhid* from stealing the device (at the time of that thread - things may
have changed) is to add your UPS to the blacklist. If you file a PR with
FreeBSD, they may even add it for a future release.

Then, you can consult section "4) Permissions" in this file:

   http://people.freebsd.org/~thierry/nut_FreeBSD_HowTo.txt

Not sure if you mentioned which version of FreeBSD, but please keep us in the
loop if these instructions aren't accurate anymore - that will be the basis
of the official documentation.
