Nut upsuser - Oct 2016 - No matching HID UPS found

Hello,

Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.2)
USB communication driver 0.32
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

I followed a thread with the same title, more or less, having permission 
problems. I applied that solution. My problem seems different.

# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0665:5161 Cypress Semiconductor USB to Serial
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c31c Logitech, Inc. Keyboard K120 for 
Business
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1c4f:0065 SiGma Micro
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

When I unplug the USB cable from my Easton 5L 600VA USB

# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c31c Logitech, Inc. Keyboard K120 for 
Business
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1c4f:0065 SiGma Micro
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

So, apparently, my Easton is sending

Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0665:5161 Cypress Semiconductor USB to Serial

The other examples show Eastons sending stuff like ...

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0463:ffff MGE UPS Systems UPS

When I run

# upsdrvctl start easton
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.2
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.2)
USB communication driver 0.32
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

The contents of my /etc/nut/ups.conf

maxretry = 3
[easton]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "Eaton 5L 600"

and of /etc/udev/rules.d/90-nut-ups.rules

# Eaton 5L 600
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb",
ATTR{idVendor}=="0665",
ATTR{idProduct}=="5161", MODE="0660", GROUP="nut"

Any clues as to what's wrong?

I initially tried Easton's software ... with more or less the same 
result : searched endlessly for the UPS device.

Do you get a device named "/dev/ttyUSB0" when you plug in the UPS?

We do have an entry for 0665:5161 in the nutdrv_qx driver (and blazer_usb, which
is deprecated in favor of nutdrv_qx) but given that it is the ID for a
USB-to-serial converter, it might not be the same protocol. Give it a shot, and
let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the response.

No  /dev/ttyUSB0.

/dev/tty and /dev/tty1 ... /dev/tty63

/dev/ttyS0 ... /dev/ttyS3

but no /dev/ttyUSB0

How can I get one? Just make one? All the rest are 4,0-67 plus one 5,0

What ought the major number be?
