I see there should be problems to get it work with a free daemon like nut, but
are there some hints using it?
In my ups.conf I tried:

[apc001]
        driver = apcsmart
        port = auto
        desc = "Smart APC"


And I get broadcast messages when I connect/disconnect the device like:
Broadcast Message from root at glus  
        (somewhere) at 14:24 ...                                               
                                                                               
Communications restored with UPS glustersv001 

(glustersv001 is the machine I connect it to)

Thank you for support,

Gregor

Only the USB drivers should work with port = auto. The "apcsmart"
driver connects over the serial port, so under Linux, you would need to pass
something like "port = /dev/ttyS0".

To connect over USB, change to "driver = usbhid-ups".

Not sure I understand what you did here. Are you disconnecting the USB or AC
connection? Also, apcsmart shouldn't have connected at all with "port =
auto".

Sorry the message was the apcupsd, not nut,...
I'm now deinstall apcupsd.

I will test the settings.
