Hello, Would like to see if I could get some help with this UPS on a debian set-up. Am not the best with linux and have tried what I managed to find elsewhere on the list so am just trying here. 1) Device seems supported: http://networkupstools.org/ddl/Mini-Box.com/OpenUPS2.html 2) lsusb -v -d 04d8: seems to give the right parameters including product name, max power etc from the unit 3) Followed the steps here as an initial starting point: https://gist.github.com/clungzta/2b5f737f006e1530cc59 4) Have edited the ups.conf and nut.conf files with the necessary entries but trying to start the driver with upsdrvctl start gives: "Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.4 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.37 (2.6.4) USB communication driver 0.32 No matching HID UPS found Driver failed to start (exit status=1)" Is this due to the usbhid-ups driver not being compiled? Or am I missing a trick somewhere? Many thanks for any assistance, will gladly provide more details where required. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Is there any way you can use Debian Backports to get a newer version of NUT?
Hi Charles, Thanks for your reply. So the Jessie or stretch versions will work then since those are 2.7.2 and 2.7.4... I will have to update my sources.list and follow this? https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ Will give it a go later and update either way.
