Nut upsuser - Aug 2022 - Where is nut-scanner on raspberry pi?

So even with Buster I get the same results - no nut-scanner. I was under the
impression that it was needed to get the serial # of an APC device. I have two
of the same type of devices (APC UPS) and the vendor code and product code are
the same for them, so I didn?t know how to distinguish one from the other in the
config files.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts,
while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

The serial number is shown in dmesg:

[    7.337934] usb 6-2: New USB device found, idVendor=051d, idProduct=0003
[    7.337935] usb 6-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[    7.337936] usb 6-2: Product: Smart-UPS C 1000 FW:UPS 10.0 / ID=1005
[    7.337937] usb 6-2: Manufacturer: American Power Conversion 
[    7.337938] usb 6-2: SerialNumber: 3S1746X05384  

or you can retrieve it with lsusb:

$ sudo lsusb -d 51d: -v | grep -2 iSerial
  iManufacturer           1 American Power Conversion 
  iProduct                2 Smart-UPS C 1000 FW:UPS 10.0 / ID=1005
  iSerial                 3 3S1746X05384  
  bNumConfigurations      1
  Configuration Descriptor:

(examples from Ubuntu; formatting may vary slightly. the "lsusb -d
51d:" flag filters for APC's vendor ID.)

# ups.conf
[apc]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        serial = "3S1746X05384"
        desc = "Basement"
