Enabling TrippLite 3024

[cromulus]

Problem/Motivation

I have a TrippLite 3024 and I have gotten it to work with nuts as a standalone daemon running on a dedicated machine. I had to do some finagling of the config.

It does not work by default, however, with this add-on.

Expected behavior

I expect that my UPS will be configured and managed by the addon

Actual behavior

this is the error I receive:

This TrippLite device (09ae:3024) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported
by usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If
this does not fix the problem, try running the driver with the
'-x productid=3024' option. Please report your results to the NUT user's
mailing list.

Steps to reproduce

Have a trip-lite 3024, and use this config: devices:

• name: myups driver: usbhid-ups productid: 3024 vendorid: 09ae port: auto config:
  • '-x productid=3024 vendorid = 09ae'

    
    ## Proposed changes

This is the solution I used to get this working on my standalone machine: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/808

Unfortunately you will need to fork and maintain your own copy. The addon installs the debian packages, I'm not keen on maintaining any additional changes outside that for future maintenance reasons (udev rules are part of the package).

Makes good sense. Perhaps a "run configurable init-commands after boot" option, similar to this functionality in the node-red addon?

imho, it's too complicated to try and support, plus looking at the issue linked it doesn't resolve all challenges. My best recommendation would be to try to get the support configured upstream.
