      Hey all,

      I just upgraded my aging APC SmartUPS SUA750 for a rack mountable SMT1500RM2U.

      While the SUA750 worked perfectly with NUT on pfSense over USB, I can't seem to get it to recognize the SMT1500RM2U at all, which is surprising to me considering how popular a unit this is among enterprise users.

      Does anyone have any suggestions what I might try?

        Never mind.

        I just saw that the apcupsd package is available so I am going to try that instead. It works flawlessly on my linux box.

        I could have sworn it wasn't there before. I haven't checked in a long time though.

          Alright.

          Second never mind.

          Turns out it works with both NUT and apcupsd.

          Looks like I just plugged the UPS cable into an usupported USB3 port. When I moved it to one of the USB2 ports, everything seems to be working again.
