Slightly different situation than this, but for reference: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.nut.user/8609 The problem is that the device ID is not stable - it usually increases monotonically (until it wraps), but it is probably not predictable enough to be used for anything but monitoring (you wouldn't want to shut down the wrong UPS). The libusb-1.0 API has the concept of a "port number" which should be slightly more stable, but we haven't made plans to transition to that API. If someone is interested in porting all of the drivers, we could discuss that. We have been organizing some of the upsc output that people have posted to the mailing lists over the years: http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/~buildbot/cayman/docs/latest/ddl/ This should help when buying to see if the UPS has a unique serial number available. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
