Cannot connect to Powercom UPS

[zerg]

Build: FreeNAS-8.1-r7885-amd64
Platform AMD A4-3300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics

UPS: Powercom Black Knight Pro

Code:

Sep 29 01:54:25 freenas kernel: ugen2.2: <POWERCOM Co.,LTD> at usbus2 (disconnected)
Sep 29 01:54:25 freenas kernel: uhid0: at uhub2, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected)
Sep 29 01:54:29 freenas kernel: ugen2.2: <POWERCOM Co.,LTD> at usbus2
Sep 29 01:54:29 freenas root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0d9f product 0x00a6 bus uhub2
Sep 29 01:54:30 freenas kernel: uhid0: <POWERCOM Co.,LTD product 0x00a6, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2> on usbus2

So it seems that I have to set Port to /dev/ugen2.2
Done

Code:

Sep 29 01:54:56 freenas freenas: Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1

Port : /dev/uhid0 - the same.

P.S. On the NUT page i found that there is 2 kind of Black Knight : serial and USB. I Have the USB one.
So I should use "usbhid-ups (experimental)" driver. Nonexperimental does not work for me

Sep 29 19:07:34 freenas freenas: Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.1)
Sep 29 19:07:34 freenas freenas: USB communication driver 0.31

Sep 29 19:07:34 freenas freenas: Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

Ever get connected

I have a similar, if not the same UPS. Did you ever get it connected? I cannot. I'm using 8.2.0 RC1, same port as you have, none of the drivers work. Actually, selecting the powercom driver prevents nut_upsmon from starting.

8.0.4 works fine now
