East UPS EA600RT 1000VA
Dear All,
I have issue to find out proper driver and communicate with UPS in my debian server. Included CD contains UPSmart for this device which is works on Windows. Please suggest how can I debug and make it work. I have added 2 different drivers into ups.conf for to test each of them.

If you're not a NUT core developer, chances are that you're told to enable debugging
to see why a driver isn't working for you. We're sorry for the confusion, but this is
the 'upsdrvctl' wrapper, not the driver you're interested in.
Below you'll find one or more lines starting with 'exec:' followed by an absolute
path to the driver binary and some command line option. This is what the driver
starts and you need to copy and paste that line and append the debug flags to that
line (less the 'exec:' prefix).

UPSmart supported devices typically are handled by drivers for Megatec Qx family of protocols, so nutdrv_qx was a good choice (might also try blazer_usb).
Higher debug level, more so with modern NUT (2.8.0 or a build from master branch), may show why it got rejected - maybe permissions, etc.? Did udev get reconfigured to let nut account access the USB device node?
No luck. I think my subdriver is hunnox but it is not included into 2.7 but I see it is in 2.8 nut version. I have installed nut 2.8 from testing sources in debian but it came without hunnox driver too. Is there are any way to install extra subdriver for nut ? I dont want to run git and mess production server((
For SUBdriver, which is built into a binary along with others and shared code, probably have to "mess" - at least to build with same settings as packaging and insert that driver binary into the setup (maybe rename the older one instead of overwriting) :\
I also have an EAST ups which also uses UPSmart. But it doesn't connect via USB, it connects via the serial port. Which driver should I use?
blazer_ser is ok
Should also be nutdrv_qx (it's unified for ser and USB devices), or blazer_ser

@MasterOfStar What exact EAST model you have? I have EA-280P and can’t get it to work reliably with Qx/hunnox :/

EAST EA-305 and uses blazer_ser mode. But, it is a serial UPS. This mode may not apply to your UPS model.
