      @Unoptanio As noted, you need the log entries for usbhid-ups. You do not need to post any log entries for upsd or upsmon.

          Well, that's a problem. 😕

          If you have anything left in the Extra Arguments to driver section or the Additional configuration lines for upsmon.conf section, please remove it and try again.

          Also, if you have a bunch of stuff filling your logs, it might be easier to log into the system and execute this command instead:

          grep usbhid-ups /var/log/system.log*

                You still have debug_min = 6 in the Extra Arguments to driver section. Please remove it.

                      @Unoptanio We still need the log entries for usbhid-ups. I suggest that you log into the system and use the grep command show above to get the entries.

                      If you can't find anything for usbhid-ups, then post the entire log for the first two minutes following a reboot. If you are worried about sensitive information, you can PM me instead.

                      While you are there, can you also get the content of these two files please:

                      /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf
                      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh

                              Well, there's the first issue. My bad. I was telling you to look for usbhid-ups, but your driver is riello_usb.

                              Sorry about that!

                                @Unoptanio The full logs were very insightful.

                                NUT is being started twice in quick succession at boot. It looks like all packages are being stopped and restarted due to high initial packet loss on the WAN immediately after startup.

                                It's not clear clear to me why the riello driver unable able to properly communicate with the UPS on the second attempt. The first connection takes ~1 second, while the second takes ~9. Definitely not normal. Perhaps the USB connection is lingering somehow, or perhaps the UPS is overly stateful and isn't in a welcoming state for the second connection. I don't know--those are just guesses.

                                There are a couple of things I can suggest:

                                1. If you haven't already installed the 2.8.1 test version discussed in the main NUT support thread, I would recommend doing so. There are a lot of changes in the riello driver post 2.8.0.
                                2. You can try adding maxretry=10 to the Extra Arguments to driver section. This will instruct the driver to retry the initial connection to the riello up to 10 times, with a 5 second delay between each attempt.

                                In bocca al lupo

                                  maxretry=10

                                  😭 😭 😭

                                  I'll try changing the USB port and also the USB cable

                                  OK thanks for the support.
                                  Do you know when there will be an automatic update of the Nut 2.8.1 package in pfsense?

                                  I saw that the official stable version of free BSD 14 should be released soon. (14 november)
                                  I think that after November 14th a new version of Pfsense will be released accordingly

                                    Can you take care of reporting the Riello VST1100 UPS quirk to freeBSD to automatically insert it into the operating system?

                                      Usually a new release of FreeBSD does not push a new release of pfSense. pfSense has it's own release schedule and updates the kernel as appropriate when it releases.

                                        @Unoptanio Yes, I will register quirks that I know have been developed and tested. I will need detail on the UPS units that you have tested it with.

                                            Mine is a working production environment.
                                            I can't afford to have system crashes.

                                            At the moment I have to stick with the Pfsense 2.7.0 version. stable

                                            Can nut 2.8.1 be installed on pfsense 2.7.0?
