similar to: Status OB (on battery) when polling a Liebert PSA

Hi, Back in 2011, it was reported that Liebert PSA devices persist in reporting OB (On Battery) when using usbhid-ups regardless of the actual state. Pier Paolo did some work (2011) which reportedly solved the issue. However, that doesn't seem to have reached mainstream and I now face the same problem. I'm using NUT 2.6.3 with a new Liebert PSA 1500Va that only ever reports OB and

Likely because 2.6.3 is not a current release. 2.7.2 (or 3?) is rhe current version, and it makes little sense to backport changes. Nut is a trivial compile . . .

I guess it's kind of a natural response on my part, working professionally in software. T-Shooting step one: Get current and see if the problem persists. If it does,then step rwo: debug. 2+ years is forever in software, noting that 2.6.3 was mid 2012 . . . - Tim On October 17, 2014 9:38:15 PM CDT, Charles Lepple <clepple at gmail.com> wrote: >On Oct 17, 2014, at 8:31 PM, Tim Dawson

Tim, It's possible that these changes didn't make it in. I admit that would be my knee-jerk reaction to seeing an older version number, but the last occurrence of

Hello The page https://networkupstools.org/ddl/Liebert/PSA_1500.html don't contain all information about UPS series PSA. First, the variable "*device.serial*" is dummy, it is always empty , and "*ups.serial*" also always empty. Second, configuration file for the all UPS "PSA" contain these lines: [PSA] ??? driver = "usbhid-ups" ?? ?port =

I downloaded latest source and it compiles ok but the original usbhid-ups.c is unchanged. Pier changed other files, too, and I don't know the changes needed. Simply substituting the modified (as per 2011) usbhid-ups gives a failed connection to the ups. So I have tried a little. I'll uninstall 2.6.3 and try to install 2.7.2 from a fresh compile. Thanks for the responses so far :-) --

This is the last post in the old thread: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2011-February/006651.html I'm marginally reluctant to install a non-standard release on a customer server because I may not be the next person to have to work on it, however, I do agree the most recent is usually the first port-of-call. Since it seems the fix didn't get followed through,

This patch adds support for the following ups to liebert-hid.c: $ lsusb | grep Liebert Bus 007 Device 005: ID 10af:0001 Liebert Corp.

Anyone have any advice what I need to do next?

Hi all, Sorry for the delay - three business trips abroad and LOTS of head scratching with USB Keys and DVD's of SuSE and FreeBSD... The question about the USB reports from Windows is still unanswered (I am abroad again !), but *think* the Liebert driver had been stopped. I can report the following updates for my linux setups; SuSE/FreeBSD/FreeNAS [remember here I am trying to make nut

Hello all, I think I've found the "regression" in Belkin/Liebert USB HID support which worked for NUT v2.7.4 and reports zero voltages in 2.8.0 -- it was actually caused by a bug fix: practically the only functional difference per `git diff v2.7.4..v2.8.0 drivers/belkin-hid.c` is a change from `abs()` to `fabs()` in order-of-magnitude comparisons like `if( abs(value - 1e-7) <

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread and likely poor formatting - I wasn't subscribed to the list at the time and have copied it out of the archives (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2010-July/006104.html). I've been unable to locate any further progress on this UPS (Liebert 10af:0001) - a thread from 2009

A while back, you sent me the pcap file from the Windows side, but there was an open question as to whether the USB requests were standard Windows HID driver requests, or whether the Liebert software was still running in the background. Also, the SuSE Live CD seems to be the only non-Windows

Thanks again. So one more bit (other than indeed different libusb versions) that could potentially come into play is bitness - armv7l builds are 32-bit, right? One idea from here is to have you run the driver programs directly with high debug verbosity, e.g. `usbhid-ups -DDDDDD -s Liebert` to compare the two walls of text (at some debug level it spews byte data seen from libusb); this might

Hello everyone, Charles suggested (about a week ago) that I repost to this list. I took a moment to run some additional tests ... The basics: -- UPS: Liebert PowerSure PSA 500 (from the 230 VAC / 50 Hz line) -- Kernel: 2.6.11.5 (from sources), USB support (down to and including CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV) compiled in statically (not as a module) -- Rest of OS: Basically still from the original SuSE

Hi, I'm trying to use rsync to backup a linux filesystem to a windows server. I followed the hints that I found at http://www.tiarnan.phlegethon.org/rsyncntdoc.html to run rsync on windows, and it works quite well. The only problem I found is that windows is not able to backup linux special files (/dev/*). I don't know if the problem is in the way rsync has been compiled, or simply in
