Poll UPS [APC-Smart-UPS-1500] failed - Driver not connected
-
I have a APC Smart UPS 1500 connect to pfSense with the configuration being:
Local USB to USB
Driver: usbhidThis should work according to the NUT hardware compatibility list.
However I get "Poll UPS [APC-Smart-UPS-1500] failed - Driver not connected" in pfSense system logs.
When I run "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start" I get:
starting NUT
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.7.4
kill: No such process
UPS: APC-Smart-UPS-1500 (master) (power value 1)
Using power down flag file /etc/killpower
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
USB communication driver 0.33
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)This is despite the UPS appearing fine if I run "dmesg | grep -i USB":
ugen0.2: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 1500 RM FW617.3.I USB FW8.1> at us bus0
ugen0.2: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 1500 RM FW617.3.I USB FW8.1> at us bus0 (disconnected)

ugen3.2: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 1500 RM FW617.3.I USB FW8.1> at us bus3
(could it be because it appears to be connected to both bus0 and bus3?)I have tried:
different usb port
saving the configuration again.
set various extra arguments.
restarting pfsenseWhat else could I try?

After a few USB re-plugs and restarts of pfSense it finally figure it out and started working.
