Hi, I'm exeperiencing issues to configure this kind of UPS. take in consideration that on the same host I have successfully configured another APC UPS on another USB port (051d:0002) with the driver usbhid-ups. Below all the details. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. May I kindly ask you a little support on that?

Looking forward to your feedback, best regards

hi @jimklimov, thank you for follow up! Ahead of your commit and issue reported, what should I do? download the new version of NUT? or you are preparing a new release? take in consideration that this are the version of NUT sw installed:

  • nut-client/focal,now 2.7.4-11ubuntu4 amd64 [installed]
  • nut-server/focal,now 2.7.4-11ubuntu4 amd64 [installed]

any advice will be appreciated! looking forward to your feedback, best regards

Hi, one idea to try would be nutdrv_qx driver as it tries to incorporate several older ones (including blazer) that talk similar protocols.

The short read might be related to an issue that could fixed recently (during work on PR for armac subdriver IIRC), different vendors took different liberties with the protocol implementations. For checking if it is fixed and if it indeed is the problem you face, you'd currently need to build the current NUT sources (see https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests) and run the driver from build workspace to probe if it sees the device; you don't have to "corrupt" the existing installation until you confirm the replacement is better.

Just to update everyone, the UPS was disconnecting after some hour, and i had to reboot the server to fix it.

Since then i added the following (same settings needed for CyberPower UPS) and now is working fine.

ups.conf


pollonly = "enabled"

upsd.conf


MAXAGE 30

upsmon.conf


DEADTIME 30

I also added the following to get the "Runtime Left" working.

ups.conf


default.battery.voltage.high = 26.00

default.battery.voltage.low = 20.80

default.battery.voltage.nominal = 24.00

runtimecal = 300,100,600,50

Do you also have this parameters for Era Plus 2000? I would like to set up runtimecal but I don't know how... thank you!
