@LanterIT Sorry, my bad. I didn't notice that you had explicitly chosen the blazer driver.

grep blazer_usb /var/log/system.log

Btw, I assume that you know that the blazer driver is deprecated and no longer being maintained post NUT 2.7.4 (April 2022). It is replaced by nutdrv_qx.

I would recommend that you switch to nutdrv_qx. And unless you have multiple UPSs attached to the system, you should be able to remove all the other settings in the Extra Arguments section other than pollinterval.

@dennypage

I have read that this driver is no longer supported.

So, I updated NUT package back to 2.8.2_1 and tried with the other driver as you suggested.

I only get the following error:
Poll UPS [ABB] failed - Driver not connected

Do you have any further advice on getting the UPS to work with the new driver?

In the meantime, I will revert to the old packages and settings.

@LanterIT said in NUT Package (2.8.1 and above):

So, I updated NUT package back to 2.8.2_1 and tried with the other driver as you suggested.

Have you tried the nutdrv_qx driver in 2.8.2?
What is the UPS you are using?
Can you post the output of "usbconfig -v" please?

Thanks

@dennypage, thank you for your support!

Yes, I have tried it with version 2.8.2 and nutdrv_qx without success.

It is an ABB PowerValue 11 RT, as described in post 173.

Can you show the logs please?

@LanterIT Unfortunately there are no log entries from the nutdrv_qx process. If you are comfortable with it, could you try the following please?

First, this insures that the nut service is running:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh restart

This kills any driver that may be running:

killall nutdrv_qx

This starts the nutdrv_qx driver in debug mode:

/usr/local/libexec/nut/nutdrv_qx -D -a ABB

The driver will output debug information in the shell. Let it run for a few seconds, then you can kill it. Please post the output. Thanks.

LanterIT · Feb 19, 2024, 8:17 PM

@LanterIT said in NUT Package (2.8.1 and above):

The driver stops after a few seconds. Output with triple D:

Very useful. When you tried the nutdrv_qx driver, did you still have anything in the "Extra Arguments to driver" section?

Assuming not, can you test with this content in the "Extra Arguments to driver" section please?

vendorid=06da
productid=0005
subdriver = "phoenix"
protocol = "megatec"

@dennypage

Thank you for your help.
I am pleased that you have found the cause in the tripplite_usb driver.

First only the pollinterval, then with all "old" arguments.

Could it also be related to the serial number?

@LanterIT said in NUT Package (2.8.1 and above):

And the last entry of usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep HID_IGNORE
correspond the vendor and product ID:

VID=0x06da PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE

Btw, a quirk is only necessary if the device is HID compliant. The quirk prevents the OS from attaching a default HID driver. If the UPS is actually HID compliant, usbhid-ups would be the preferred driver. I assume that the usbhid-ups driver did not work, correct?

dennypage · Feb 20, 2024, 7:28 PM

@LanterIT said in NUT Package (2.8.1 and above):

First only the pollinterval, then with all "old" arguments.

Just with the content above please, and the test you ran previously:

looks pretty much the same.

@LanterIT How did you come to these two parameters when originally using the blazer_usb driver?

subdriver = "phoenix"
protocol = "megatec"

@dennypage

The UPS was delivered with WinPower and I tried different settings with NUT and got it to work with the blazer_usb driver and these values.

@LanterIT said in NUT Package (2.8.1 and above):

I tried different settings with NUT and got it to work with the blazer_usb driver and these values.

And blazer_usb did not work without those two values, correct?

Also, you confirmed that usbhid did not work, correct?

@dennypage

Without these values, the UPS is connected, but the battery values displayed are incorrect, e.g:

battery.voltage 2.18
battery.voltage.high -1.08
battery.voltage.low -0.87

The usbhid did not work, no connection

@LanterIT Looking at the all the debug output, it appears that your UPS does not actually implement the full Megatec protocol. In particular, it does not respond to a request for Vendor Info (I).

Looking at the nutdrv_qx code, I suggest that you test these alternate settings for protocol: "q1", "zinto", "bestups", "hunnox".

My money is on the "q1" protocol.

You will probably also need to switch the subdriver setting to "cypress", or remove the subdriver setting altogether.

For reference...

The (current) valid values for 'protocol' are: voltronic, voltronic-qs, voltronic-qs-hex, mustek, megatec/old, bestups, mecer, megatec, zinto, masterguard, hunnox, ablerex, q1

The (current) valid values for 'subdriver' are: cypress, phoenixtec, phoenix, ippon, krauler, fabula, hunnox, fuji, sgs, snr, ablerex, armac
