Hi Jim

Thanks for the reply.

In NUT under unRAID there is indeed a setting to enter a driver in.

Which driver are you suggesting I try as nutdrv_qx makes NUT work, but no 
communication between NUT and the UPS.

Just tried nutdrv_atcl_usb.c as driver and NUT will not start.

Is there anything else I need to enter in UPS.conf to get it to work?

Regards

James

I believe nutdrv_atcl_usb is orthogonal to nutdrv_qx "fuji" subdriver. They 
both handle devices using an "ATCL" USB chip which does not have a registered 
vendorId/productId, but that is where similarity stops. Different UPS vendors 
implemented different protocols and abilities using that chip as a transport, 
hence two unrelated drivers.

It seems the HCL entry appeared in relation to this discussion: 
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/203

Looking at 
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/drivers/nutdrv_atcl_usb.c it 
indeed does not have many settings, just an alternate "vendor" string to match 
on a device which it finds with hardcoded vid:pid by looking at all USB devices.

Unfortunately I can't help with setup of unRAID bit. I'd assume there is a 
place to state which NUT driver you want.

I have spent the last few days researching the possibility of using a Powercool 
UPS with NUT under unRAID.

I have posted my findings on their forums and not had much response besides 
other users wanting it to work too.

How does one utilise nutdrv_actl_usb?

https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/nutdrv_atcl_usb.html

As a means of connecting to a Powercool UPS along with nutdrv_qx?

Seeing this - 
https://github.com/cbedgar/nut/blob/1e9216399b890b0770a0e8b158109eaa5e61d332/data/driver.list.in

Fills me with hope that it’s feasible.


Is it feasible or am I wasting my time?
