I don't know why we can't read anything from this device. There are many ways in which one could make a buggy device that works with

I have checked in a cleaned-up version of patch #302111 (Belkin support) into CVS. See cvs diff -uN -r before_PSE_2 -r after_PSE_2 to check the difference. Here is the CHANGES entry: Tue Sep 13 20:50:14 UTC 2005 / Peter Selinger <selinger@users.sourceforge.net> - newhidups: added Belkin support. Also added some new variables and instant commands (some of these were already used by

Hi James, thanks for the feedback. The output you get seems generally fine, except for battery.voltage: 0.0 and output.voltage: 164.0; these values are consistent with what Phil DeBoest reported. Upsmon normally executes the shutdown command when you reach the "low battery" threshold, as decided by the UPS and/or driver. It does so by looking at ups.status, not battery.charge. --

Okay, now that I've got NUT up and running with the newhidups driver, I can give it a quick shakedown. Most of the values look good, but are few are off. Here's what I get: elrond@foxstar:~$ upsc foxstarups@localhost battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 50 battery.date: 3150/08/01 battery.mfr.date: 2005/03/22 battery.runtime: 1935 battery.runtime.low: 120

Thought I would write some notes about how I got an APC BackUPS XS 1500 working with newhidups under Gentoo 2006.0. The specific issue here is the permissions on the device files used that libusb uses to access the USB hardware. I followed Peter Selinger's instructions at http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html on getting newhidups going with an APC device. The sticking point for

Hello everyone! If this message was posted twice, my apologies. I'm having issues with my webmail today... I am using the testing version of NUT from SVN at changeset 582. I have successfully created a stub for newhidups driver for my Dynex DX-800U UPS, but I am completely lost on the customization of it. I've followed the hid-subdrivers.txt instructions and I understand I need to

Mr. Selinger, I'm CCing you directly since it appears (insofar as I can tell) that you are one of the delelopers for the newhidups driver. This is the third time I've submitted this (hence the CC this time). Hopefully mailman takes it. I've tweaked my SPF records, and I'm hoping that was the problem. My sincere apologies if this has gone through and I just haven't seen it

Hi! I've got a Mandrake 2006.0 machine and a APC Back-UPS Pro 500/1000/1500 (from lsusb). The Mandrake package version of nut is 2.0.1 and hidups actually detects the UPS, however I get loads of these: Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Ignoring x86 page event 0xff860080 (0) Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Unhandled event: 0x840058 (6) Sep 12 18:26:11 vader hidups[7658]: Unhandled

Peter, You may want to have a look at the comments to Bug 164524 at bugzilla@redhat.com: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164524 I filed this a long while ago, because of the mess we get into when shutting down Linux via /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt, and the UPS device no longer being reachable when we want shut it down. There seem to be some changes to libusb on the way, that

I was looking at how other drivers deal with outlet collections, and I noticed some differences between newhidups in 2.0.4 (from Debian's 2.0.4-2.3) and the SVN trunk (rev 723) on an Evolution. Full diff is below, but here are the highlights: * MGE HID 0.9 vs 1.0 * outlet.#.switch seems to have moved to the commands outlet.#.load.{on,off} Then I found this in the ChangeLog: * fix

Hi. I had a problem recently with %subj, and I've solved it. Sent a letter with solution to maintainers, but it seems like I've lost it somewhere. May be just simply forgot to write it.. But anyway. I've noticed that I'm not the only one who had it. So I post the workaround. The problem is similar to the one mentioned in letter with alike subject at Oct. 5. When the UPS

Hi there, I'm one of the maintainers of the SME Server distro (www.contribs.org) and we've been chasing this one for some time: http://www.contribs.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=352 http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2006-January/000543.html Many thanks to Peter Selinger and everyone else who helped with the debugging and patches. Thanks, Gordon

I'm using an APC Back-UPS XS with nut 2.0.3. I've recompiled/reinstalled the source, and switched over to the newhidups driver (instead of the old hidups driver). I modified by ups.conf to use newhidups. The hotplug files were not automatically installed, I had to copy those from the scripts directory to my hotplug/usb directory. The newhidups driver loads find and then works for a

I have gone ahead and merged the regex_branch with the main Development branch. Reason: recent renaming of files and moving around of code leads to conflicts between the branches that will be increasingly difficult to resolve. It is easier to merge now while the two branches are still relatively similar and most edits non-overlapping. The merge is between tags before_PSE_6 and after_PSE_6 on

I just installed NUT and my UPS is an APC Back-UPS ES 500. I looked in the list of drivers and found APC Back-UPS ES 350 listed in "drivers.txt" -- that list said I should use either the newhidups or hidups driver. I looked in the installation and I found headers and c files to create these drivers (I think), but in /usr/local/ups/bin there is no driver named, "newhidups or
