UPSilon 2000 doesn't work USB on Linux, what could I do? trying to use either NUT or Megatec software

binarydepth · 2 November 2020 12:17

I got an UPS, UPSilon 2000. And in Windows, it works with USB cable but in Linux, it is not finding it in the configured port. Program files and Manual

Maybe it’s not on that port, but how would I figure? Or I could use minicom to fake the RS232 port as in this guide

So I think NUT could work. But i get this after following a guide

$sudo upsd

upsd.conf: invalid directive [myups]

I’m following the Arch Wiki

upsdrvctl start               
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Error: no UPS definitions found in ups.conf

Ok I fiexed where I messed up now I have just the no definition error

Network UPS Tools upsd 2.7.4

Maybe using USB as RS232 as in this guide but lsusb is not working

binarydepth · 30 December 2020 20:28

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

paman -S nut

Find out you USB IDs

lsusb

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

Enable service and start

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

Start driver: (Maybe it’s better to do this before starting the service)

upsdrvctl start

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

Check status

systemctl status nut-server
