I bought a very nice little, self contained, UPS from mini-box:
http://www.mini-box.com/OpenUPS2
thinking it would be handled by NUT.
I think I misread or misinterpreted the HCL
http://www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html
The OpenUPS UPS is listed as supported under usbhid-ups, and I had
assumed that OpenUPS2 would be as well. Bzzzzt. I get a unknown device
ID for d005
Is adding (or hacking) support for this device into the HID driver
something simple which can be done without a recompile?

You will also want to copy the line in /etc/udev/52-nut-usbups.rules that looks like this: ATTR{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTR{idProduct}=="d004", MODE="664", GROUP="nobody" and change the "d004" to "d005". If that works, let us know and we will add it to the driver. -- Charles Lepple clepple at gmail

If so, we can update the driver so that it matches automatically. The output of "upsc" would also be handy, for future reference. -- Charles Lepple clepple at gmail
