Tripp Lite has their UPS management software available for Fedora

that is. SHEESH!
Other that squeezing the source out of them and doing a build on a
more
modern Fedora, does anyone know of a UPS management software that will
work with Tripp Lite UPS?
BTW, I have been using Tripp Lite products since '84, so please don't
recommend another brand of UPS.
Have you looked at NUT (Network Ups Tools)? It handles Tripp Lite and a
whole bunch of others. Here's a list of the Tripp Lite stuff it
manages:
http://networkupstools.org/ddl/Tripp_Lite/
It's available from the standard repos:
nut.x86_64 2.7.4-4.fc25 fedora
nut-cgi.x86_64 2.7.4-4.fc25 fedora
nut-client.x86_64 2.7.4-4.fc25 fedora
nut-devel.x86_64 2.7.4-4.fc25 fedora
nut-xml.x86_64 2.7.4-4.fc25 fedora
Looks like I need usbhid-ups, but can't find it.
Plus little information on how to work with this interface.
That's part of the main nut package, along with a man page:
[root@prophead ~]# rpm -ql nut | grep usbhid
/usr/sbin/usbhid-ups
/usr/share/man/man8/usbhid-ups.8.gz
OK. I did not have the cable plugged in right to the UPS.
I am now seeing /dev/hidraw0, but NUT wants a host/port. I assume
localhost, but what port is hidraw0 mapping to?
I don't use nut myself, but grazing the man pages, you'd use
something like this in the ups.conf file:
[tripplite]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
vendorid = <vendor-id-from-lsusb>
Do an "lsusb" and see what vendor ID is shown for your UPS. For example,
scanning my USB bus, I see this sort of thing:
[root@prophead ups]# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8001 Intel Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8009 Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0bc2:ab21 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Slim
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0411:00a2 BUFFALO INC. (formerly MelCo., Inc.)
I do NOT have a Tripp Lite UPS, but let's just say that the "BUFFALO
INC." thing is my Tripp Lite. I'd set up my ups.conf thus:
[tripplite]
driver = usbhid-ups
bus = "003"
port = auto
vendorid = 0411
The "bus = " isn't really necessary, but it'll keep the system from
scanning ALL of your USB buses. I think that's all you need.
I am doing this on another system and am looking back and forth between
screens...
So in /etc/ups/ups.conf I have added:
[SMART1000LCD]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
bus = "003"
vendorid = 09ae
I start up the NUT gui and it is showing host of localhost and port of 3493
and 'error connecting to localhost' connection refused.
so what port is auto going to? Since this is localhost, I am not
supposed to set a firewalld rule for whatever port it is???
