Hello Jim,
Thanks for your prompt reply and happy lunar new year.
I think my situation is first one. Actually I am from CyberPower UPS
manufacture. In the past, CyberPower UPS works well with NUT. Today, I want to
use another VID/PID to fulfill ODM business rather than CyberPower brand UPS.
My engineer will apply standard USB power device description like as
CyberPower’s USB design. The only difference is VID/PID. What I request is
someone could help me finish following two items.
A. Offer the beta NUT version that should include below requirement to me.
I will test it by myself.
I. New VID "0x0483", PID "0xA430"
II. Corresponding existing (sub-)driver "usbhid-ups"
III. Manufacture "CyberEnergy"
B. Once the beta NUT is compatible with new UPS, help me pull request
until formal NUT support my new VID/PID device.
Can you help me or suggest proper person to complete above? How much should I
pay for this, please let me know if anything that I should notice.
Thank you very much and look forward your further feedback,
Eric Hsu

Subject: Re: [Nut-upsdev] NUT supports new VID/PID
Hello and welcome!
It really depends on what it really means to "add support":
If the needed abilities are already present in an existing driver and its
sub-driver (`usbhid-ups` as you say, if this uses a HID protocol, or
`nutdrv_qx` likely otherwise), and the issue is just about adding the IDs to
the suitable handler so it "knows" it is compatible during device detection,
then it is trivial. In fact, if you go to NUT GitHub Wiki page to look for
"Building in-place" instructions, you can experiment locally and post a pull
request with a checked-working change set.
If this issue is however about adding a new (or extending an old)
(sub-)driver, then I really hope some of the list members can help with the
investigation and coding.
Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov
