Problem connecting Upsilon 2000, How to setup with NUT

  • 772

I'm using Kubuntu 20.04.1 64 bit. To clarify I'm not trying to use this via network but directly via USB cable.

The UPS should be Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0001:0000 Fry's Electronics

EDIT:

I found the drivers list with, "Various" "ups" "2" "(Various USB)" "UPSilon 2000 software" "blazer_usb langid_fix=0x409" and a little web search pointed to have the configuration like this and it connected.

[upsilon-2000]
driver = "blazer_usb"
port = auto
langid_fix="0x409"
desc="Upsilon 2000"
vendorid = "0001"
productid = "0000"

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.12 (2.7.4)
Supported UPS detected with megatec protocol
Vendor information unavailable
No values provided for battery high/low voltages in ups.conf

Using 'guestimation' (low: 20.800000, high: 26.000000)!
Battery runtime will not be calculated (runtimecal not set)

Now I need to be able to configure it or is it already configured by default?

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FINALDELAY - last sleep interval before shutting down the system
#
# On a master, upsmon will wait this long after sending the NOTIFY_SHUTDOWN
# before executing your SHUTDOWNCMD.  If you need to do something in between
# those events, increase this number.  Remember, at this point your UPS is 
# almost depleted, so don't make this too high.
#
# Alternatively, you can set this very low so you don't wait around when
# it's time to shut down.  Some UPSes don't give much warning for low
# battery and will require a value of 0 here for a safe shutdown.
#
# Note: If FINALDELAY on the slave is greater than HOSTSYNC on the master,
# the master will give up waiting for the slave to disconnect.

FINALDELAY 5

upsmon.conf

I made a systemd service and this is the status shown. EDIT: I just needed nut-server.service

  1. Note: I haven't tested but this seems it's running properly. I would have to unplug my UPS and wait for 5 minutes. This is /etc/nut/upsmon.conf

    Install NUT

    apt install nut

    Find out you USB IDs

    Find out your Drivers. Mine is listed as blazer_usb langid_fix=0x409

    Configure /etc/nut/ups.conf

    There is a command for this but for now it's doesn't say nothing about lang_fix part, maybe it's not needed anymore. sudo nut-scanner

    [upsilon-2000]
driver = "blazer_usb"
port = auto
langid_fix="0x409"
desc="Upsilon 2000"
vendorid = "0001"
productid = "0000"

    Edit nano /etc/nut/nut.conf

    MODE=standalone

    Start driver:

    upsdrvctl start

NOTE: I made a Systemd service to run this command at boot

    Enable service and start

    systemctl enable nut-server.service
systemctl start nut-server.service

    You may need to reboot to make the server work properly.

    Check status

    systemctl status nut-server

  2. I used the below in ups.conf and it works well:

    [myups]
        driver = nutdrv_qx
        port = auto
        desc = "My UPS"
        pollfreq = 1
