Hello,
No ttyUSB* device under /dev however the new driver has detected the UPS, the
nut services are able to start, just "upsc -l ups" sais unknown error
and doesn't return any information. Could be due to the driver unable to
detect number of battery packs as reported by the nut-driver.service startup?
How can I fix that?

blazer_usb is no longer maintained - try nutdrv_qx instead. You may need some
additional flags: https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/nutdrv_qx.html

Does this device show up as a USB serial port in /dev? (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0) You
can sometimes see evidence of this in dmesg/journalctl when you plug in the USB
cable (useful if the /dev name is different)
