I’m trying to setup my UPS, an EATON 3S 850 supported by the driver usbhid-ups, to be monitored by TrueNAS.
I previously ran Unraid with the same setup, and had no problem with it.
I first reied setting it up from the UI, and it seemed to work. This is the setup:
The UPS seems to be recognised (I initially get an alarm of missing communication, which then goes away), but reporting is all empty:
Also, I tried unplugging the power and TrueNAS did not relay any alarm as Unraid did.
I tried to do some more digging from the CLI.
This is the output ot nut-scanner:
# nut-scanner -U -N
Scanning USB bus.
[nutdev1]
driver = "usbhid-ups"
port = "auto"
vendorid = "0463"
productid = "FFFF"
product = "Eaton 3S"
serial = "Blank"
vendor = "EATON"
bus = "003"
As you can see, everything good. I wrote these values to /etc/nut/ups.conf, just in case. However, I still get:
# upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.8.0
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.47 (2.8.0)
USB communication driver (libusb 1.0) 0.43
Can't claim USB device [0463:ffff]@0/0: Entity not found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
The Arch wiki claims this to be a permission problem, but even setting the UDEV rule did not solve it.
Running upsdrvsvcctl start returns:

As you can see, no dice. Any idea?
