2.8.2_1 blazer_usb, nutdrv_qx

dennypage

@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

LanterIT

@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.

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

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

Can you show the logs please?

Thanks

@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

@dennypage

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

@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"

LanterIT

@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

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

subdriver = "phoenix"
protocol = "megatec"

LanterIT

@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.

dennypage

@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?

LanterIT

@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

I briefly tested your suggestions without success.
With all combinations I get the following message and at the end device not supported.
Output for "q1" with "cypress":

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

I briefly tested your suggestions without success.

I'm wondering if there is a state issue as this debug output doesn't match the prior debug output for the first Q1 interaction.

Previously, the initial interaction looked list this:

   0.066547     [D3] send: Q1
   0.306233     [D3] read: (225.0 225.0 229.7 048 49.9 2.18 28.3 00000001

   4.081737     [D3] flush: Timeout (-7)

Each time it responded to Q1. However the initial interaction in your last run looks like this:

   0.005455     [D3] send: Q1
   0.238258     [D3] read:
   0.238297     [D2] qx_process_answer: input.voltage - invalid start character [00], expected [28]

The UPS is sending breaks rather than the expected open paren. I note that the same thing happened when testing with automatic detection, when the driver sends a bunch of commands to the UPS..

The reason that I suggested those protocols is because they are the ones that do not require a response to I.

There are apparently some of these UPSs that have strict ordering of commands. I'll have to research a bit more.

While I do that, please repeat the q1 test a few times to see if the UPS state clears. I.E. a correct response to Q1. If you have physical proximity to the UPS, it may be worthwhile to unplug/replug the USB connection prior to the attempt.

EDIT: Please use "protocol=q1" and "subdriver=phoenix" in the test.

During the last test, almost all devices were shut down after a driver incorrectly returned OnBattery.

OK, this part seems to work.

For further tests, I first have to set up an unproductive pfSense.
