      I'm unable to setup Ups monitoring with the New NUT 2.7.4.2 package for pfsense 2.3 . I've connected the APC BACKUPS PRO with the usb cable. My USB driver is usbhid. My configurations are

      upsmon.conf
      MONITOR upslocal@localhost 1 ups password  master

      ups.configured
      [apc_backups_pro_1500]
      driver = apcsmart
      port = auto
      desc ="APC BACKUPS PRO"

      ups.user file
      [ups]
      password = password

      The error message in pfsense system log

      Poll UPS [upslocal] failed - Driver not connected

      I have google search but no luck.

        The names and content of the config files are incorrect. The description says you are using a USB cable and that the driver is "usbhid", however the config file shows driver "apcsmart" which is a serial port driver rather than a USB driver. The ups name does not match the configuration either.

        This isn't a configuration that the pfSense NUT package will produce. Are you editing config files by hand?

        To configure your UPS, please go to Services / UPS / UPS Settings in the UI.
