Troubles with NUT and Upsilon 2000, standalone mode

binarydepth · 1 May 2021 00:27

I’m having issues to get NUT to work with my UPS in standalone mode. When I just enable the service I get error and when I set a service to start the driver I get an error on startup saying Failed to start device driver.

When I do upsc upsilon-2000@localhost I get Error: Driver not connected, then I start the driver with sudo upsdrvctl start and it works.

Looks like USB is nto initialized when the service starts and throws error. This is what I used to do on Ubuntu @ [AskUbuntu] (ups - Problem connecting Upsilon 2000, How to setup with NUT - Ask Ubuntu) and did the same with Manjaro KDE. The problem arises on boot, everything is fine during installation and first configuration.

I did this and did not solve the problem:

/etc/udev/rules.d/50-ups.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0001", ATTR{idProduct}=="0000", SYMLINK+="ups0", GROUP="nut"

This in /etc/nut/upsmon.conf but I think that’s for remote monitoring

MONITOR upsilon-2000@localhost 1 upsduser password master

This is what I get at startup

upsc upsilon-2000@localhost           
Error: Driver not connected

And this is how I set it up so far

Install NUT

pacman -S nut

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

Configure /etc/nut/ups.conf

[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

Check status

systemctl status nut-server
