I wish to use NUT in HomeAssistant on Raspberry Pi to manage my Tripp Lite
Model SMART500RT1U, Series AG-03AA.
Setup automatically detected the UPS and assigned driver usbhid-ups, but
the logs contain this error:

[10:55:41] INFO: Starting the UPS monitor and shutdown controller...
> This TrippLite device (09ae:3026) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported
> by usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT.
> If this does not fix the problem, try running the driver with the
> '-x productid=3026' option, or iterate with explicit '-x subdriver=...'
> option. Please report your results to the NUT user's mailing list

I did try adding "-x productid=3026" as a custom config item for the device
(also tried "-x productid=3005"), but the same error persists.
I also tried the tripplite_usb driver and those listed in the HCL for
"various" manufacturers, but none of those identified the device at all.

I'm not sure I added the productid parameter correctly; here's how it came
out in the YAML when I added a custom configuration item in the UI.

The HCL <https://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html> shows this model is
supported by either driver tripplite_usb (older product ID 0001) or
usbhid-ups (newer product ID 3005), but it says nothing about product ID
3026.

Is there a workaround?
