As an update to my first message, sent July 13, I am totally out of my league.I 
installed nut (apt-get install nut) on Debian Jessie.  Went through the process 
of modifying ups.conf and copied the udev ( cp 
/lib/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ )
When I ran  upsdrvctl start  I got a message about the usbhid-ups driver.  It 
appears that NUTis not configured with the driver.  The instructions in the man 
page is all greek to me.  As I said before, I am not a programmer.  I suspect 
that NUT might need to be compiled with thatdriver, but I really don't know.  
Any instructions would have to be written so that ANYBODYcould follow them, not 
just programmers.  So I think it best if I just forget about the whole thing.  
I'm sure your software is great, but not for a noob !
