Did you see what objecttothis posted on GitHub already? In any event, your issue with NUT and the 3024 AVR750U is that the UPS reboots output instead of shutting off when the shutdown command is sent, correct? Good suggestion on the driver authors, thanks.

I am not the most experienced C programmer out there, but given there are extensive examples in the rest of the NUT USB drivers, I would be willing to take a stab at a Pull Request to integrate the protocol once the documentation has been provided. I also noticed that there are some names at the top of the TrippLite USB HID driver source file. Perhaps it would be worth reaching out to them for advice.

No, I had not! I'll take a look at the protocol docs. My problem is the opposite: all the permutations that NUT can send of "turn off but turn back on later" either do nothing or turn the UPS off in such a way that it requires me pressing the physical power button to bring it back on. (I guess I haven't tested trying commands to turn it back on, but that's not so helpful if the controlling device is powered by the UPS.)

Since you have it working on Windows how feasible is it to sniff the connection and reverse engineer the protocol. I think that it has been done in the past when all else failed in getting documentation. I am not sure how much of the existing driver is working and how much is not but if it is not too many commands it may be worth a try. I know wireshark has a USB sniffer built into the latest build. Just a passing thought... and like the wind it's gone..... On Fri, Jul 31, 2020 at 12:12 AM Scott Colby <scott at scolby.com> wrote:> > No, I had not!

A thought if you have the ability to test: Use PowerAlert Local (PAL) in Trace mode if you still have it set up, rerun your test, then send me the poweralert.log file. I can then dig through it and provide commentary on what your configuration there did which we can then compare to NUT. I assume you used PAL on a Windows box? I can shoot over the steps I'm remote so USB testing on my side takes some doing.
