I set up my UPS which is an APC Back UPS 675. According to documentation it uses Power Chute software which only runs on Windows. I did not see my UPS listed so I selected the Driver: APC ups2 Back-UPS (USB) USB (usbhid-ups) in TrueNAS. Will this work?
from the truenas shell you can check which driver the ups expects with
sudo nut-scanner -U

Thanks for your quick reply. Via the shell the scanner returned a long string: “ Back-UPS NS 675M1 FW:930.a8 .D USB FW:a8” This doesn’t look like any of the options for driver selection. I typed it in anyway and the system didn’t recognize it. This string does identify the UPS unit correctly so maybe the driver I chose will work. Is this possible? Is there a way to test it?
Look for the line in the nut-scanner output that says driver=… This will be the driver you should use.
