Hi,
I have an UPS for my home server. It has an USB and a serial connector.
It is labelled as "Claire 1500VA" but when I connect it with the USB
cable lsusb lists it as "06da:0003 Phoenixtec Power Co., Ltd", in
/proc/bus/usb/devices it sais "Manufacturer=OMRON" and "Product=USB
UPS".
Following the online manual I have set in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf like that:
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
LOCKFILE /var/lock
SCRIPTDIR /etc/apcupsd
PWRFAILDIR /etc/apcupsd
NOLOGINDIR /etc
ONBATTERYDELAY 6
BATTERYLEVEL 5
MINUTES 3
TIMEOUT 0
ANNOY 300
ANNOYDELAY 60
NOLOGON disable
KILLDELAY 0
NETSERVER on
NISIP 0.0.0.0
NISPORT 3551
EVENTSFILE /var/log/apcupsd.events
EVENTSFILEMAX 10
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable
STATTIME 0
STATFILE /var/log/apcupsd.status
LOGSTATS off
DATATIME 0
But when I try to start apcupsd I get the next error in system log:

Is this UPS supported by apcupsd or I should give up?
