Hello, try increasing the debug verbosity for the driver (debug_min=6
in its settings can help) to see what it complains about to not start. There was a recent report #2580 about auto-detection with nut-scanner
yielding config options vendorid
/productid
that this older driver does not support. If those are in your config too, commenting them away might help.
Hi @jimklimov - thank you for the reply. I have switched the logging to debug, and now the log shows:

These options seem to bump the debugging of HA scripts, not NUT programs (driver in particular). They do have a bit of effect, with the driver's logs getting a timestamp and lines' debug level prefix (e.g. [D1] Starting UPS: TE_1800W
) but I do not see messages e.g. at NUT debug verbosity level 4 seen a lot at https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L301-L564 and which could carry details about why it gets to fatalx()
line with the driver callback failed
message, as well as what successes it had along the way.
Unfortunately I am not a HA user so can't help directly about it, more so when it is a VM, so can only suggest generic ideas at the moment: check that the host system does not have any software attached to the device (e.g. a NUT driver or something else), and that it is not forwarded to any other guests. If you have a chance to rule out more moving parts, by checking if the UPS is seen by NUT on a bare-metal machine (e.g. install/build it on the host of that HA VM), that would be helpful. In the end, you are managing physical power of physical computers, and whatever automation a mere VM does to e.g. command the UPS to power off can be minutes away from the other VMs or the host itself being ready to kick the bucket (ordering it to go down last in case of shutdown can help though, but...)
Also, this is one of a couple of drivers (along with nutdrv_atcl_usb
) that even in current revisions are not (yet?) fully converged into common NUT codebase and so do not share code of drivers/usb-common.c
and some of those features and settings that other USB-capable drivers may have, such as the common vendorid
and productid
options I think I've mentioned earlier and that may be suggested by nut-scanner
in that NUT release.
Perhaps ask that community or docs to see how the ups.conf
is ultimately generated, and what checkboxes or YAMLs in the GUI correspond to that, and how to verify if these two options are in fact present, and how to inject debug_min
there.
Regarding custom NUT builds, please take a look at https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests and the docs it mentions for dependency lists for various platforms. You can test a driver from the build workspace, without changing the OS there. If you are crafty, you can also custom-build the dependencies (e.g. libusb) to use from the temporary or homedir based installation, and avoid putting those into the OS too as long as you are "just testing". Be sure to NOT have the device actively forwarded to a VM when trying to use it in the host OS context.
Another idea is to follow the community-contributed notes https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-integration-for-Home-Assistant about building your own newer HA plugin with a specified NUT version. I believe originally it relies on packaged NUT, so you would have to craft that, or adapt the recipe to install dependencies and build NUT as part of creating the container with the plugin.
Hi, I am sorry, but I am kinda lost :) I don't think I can do the build by myself. I will try to extract the drivers from the CD it came with and when I do I will upload them here - maybe it can help the development and adding a new driver.
I wonder if you "may" do such re-publication of binaries here, license-wise. Do they have a download link of such ISO or files it contains?
As for your existing deployment, to step back in complexity:
ups.conf
sectionsdebug_min
number value, e.g. to 7
for the highest practically implemented verbosity in NUTThis might expose some system-level issues (e.g. permissions or poorly written settings - as I wrote above, I am concerned about a couple of keywords that may be present in config and may be rejected by this driver).
Building your own (NUT and plugin) is a next-level option to check if newer code fares better with your device; eventually perhaps experiment with some fixes to the driver to help it support your device model, if it does not yet.
Ok, I managed to get the software online (https://powermanagerlite.software.informer.com/download/) I connected my laptop to the USB of the UPS after installing the PowerManager lite software and it detects the UPS. So it means that the driver from this package works. And it also has Linux Drivers in the package. As it is free to download - I think it can be worked with.... what do you think?
Hi @jimklimov , Not wanting to back down, I did the following:
lsusb
brings:

So it detects ok the USB as Richcomm usb driver
sudo nano /etc/nut/ups.conf

4. Then restarted all services:

Any idea on how to debug further why is not working? Also, running: ``` lsusb -D /dev/bus/usb/001/004``` gives:

One clue is the reported fatal error.
Another would (probably) be that this driver does not have options for vendorid
/productid
and would next complain about these.
Also with NUT 2.8.0 and newer, on OSes with systemd, the nut-driver-enumerator may create a service unit for each driver which would conflict with manual upsdrvctl
runs.
Hi Jim,
So, what are my next steps?

First, get the driver program running: comment away ups.conf
lines with desc
and whatever else it would complain about.
Check systemctl status nut-driver@tedelectric.service
- quite probably it would exist, in that case manipulate it via systemctl
or NUT's upsdrvsvcctl
wrapper (for services), not upsdrvctl
designed for older systems.
Hi,
Thank you very much for the fast reply.
So, I edited the ups.conf

maxretry = 3

driver = "richcomm_usb"
port = "auto"
vendor = "RICHCOMM"
Then, I ran the following commands:

Aug 22 09:48:43 raspberrypi nut-driver@tedelectric[4218]: Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
I hope this helps in pinpointing the issue - or at least I hope so :) - can you advise further?
Thanks! So far this one is the most important part:
USB device [0925:1234] matches, but driver callback failed: Entity not found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
The driver did get past its configuration options, but a callback to check if the device looks like it is supported did not recognize it.
Logic-wise, it is called at https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/c9132a5749ede3e3da76a65fd0ce6cb25b9da40f/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L511 and goes to https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/c9132a5749ede3e3da76a65fd0ce6cb25b9da40f/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L236-L281 in the current codebase (https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L500 and https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L235-L276 in your older NUT release).
The logic here is simpler than in other USB-capable drivers:
callback()
decides if the device handle can be used ("configuration", "interface" and "endpoint" can all be used), returns -1 otherwise.If you add debug_min = 6
to the ups.conf
section and restart the driver, we can see more details about what exactly failed here.
Also check if your system has /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules
(or maybe in some other location, e.g. under /etc/udev*
- may depend on packaging, or under a different name - it might have change during 2.8.x timeframe), and if such file contains 0925 and 1234. Maybe for some reason the udev
, upower
or similar facility on your box is not told to hand-off this USB device from kernel to NUT.
It is also a possibility that this device does not fit this driver (billed as "dry-contact to USB driver") - maybe your UPS is newer and smarter than posting a few yes-no bits over USB, and needs some usbhid-ups
or talks a Megatec Qx protocol and needs nutdrv_qx
instead altogether. For the latter you can manually try different protocol
and subdriver
options to override built-in match-ups known when the driver version was built; usbhid-ups
can also do such options but only since NUT v2.8.2 I think.
As a quick test with even older NUT versions, usbhid-ups -x explore -x vendorid=0925 -x productid=1234 -s test
might expose if this device reports anything via USB HID interface.
:; sudo upsdrvsvcctl start No service units detected
what does this mean?
This is actually an odd one, I can't quickly say. The nut-driver@tedelectric.service
systemd unit apparently exists according to other screenshots. Maybe this call happened in the split-second that you edited something, and the NDE service was re-defining the unit, so it was deleted for a few seconds?
Ok, so, I edited the usb.conf
and added debug_min = 6
and it looks like this:
pollinterval = 1
maxretry = 3
debug_min = 6
[tedelectric]
driver = "richcomm_usb"
port = "auto"
Then ran:

I don't see anything regarding Richcomm in the rules file - should I add a new line there? and if so what?
Thank you very very much for all your help.
I don't see anything regarding Richcomm in the rules file
It's here. Glued to CPS block for some reason, but present:
# Sweex 1000VA - richcomm_usb ATTR{idVendor}=="0925", ATTR{idProduct}=="1234", MODE="664", GROUP="nut"
As for the driver startup, logs (thanks!) indicate that the loop of 3 retries does behave differently on first and later cycles. With responsible code lines (to help track this fault down):
before loop: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L495
0.026294 [D2] auto detached kernel driver from USB device
cycle#1 (in callback): https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L271
0.027664 [D5] Can't reset USB endpoint
cycle#1:
0.027749 [D4] failed to detach kernel driver from USB device: Entity not found
cycle#2 (in callback): https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L247
0.027843 [D5] Can't set USB configuration
cycle#2: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L524 or https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/v2.8.0/drivers/richcomm_usb.c#L533
0.027881 [D4] failed to detach kernel driver from USB device: Entity not found
cycle#3 same as cycle #2:
0.027931 [D5] Can't set USB configuration
0.027964 [D4] failed to detach kernel driver from USB device: Entity not found
So on the first cycle it did pass "USB configuration" and a few other operations in the callback
method before failing; maybe one of those corrupted something? (e.g. "set USB alternate interface" was just before it, and if later detachments failed - this is where the libusb connection stayed). If that device does not have an alt interface (or not at that point), it might be why the other calls fail (and "Entity not found" verdict seemingly fits).
Maybe the "auto detach kernel driver from USB device" just before the loop is also at fault, at least it is not available on all systems out there.
I think at this point I can only recommend a custom build of NUT from master branch per https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests and fiddling with the driver source to comment away the suspected culprits (one then another) and see if your device would become recognized.
Hi @jimklimov Thank you very much for taking the time to go through this. Unfortunately "I think at this point I can only recommend a custom build of NUT from master branch per https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests and fiddling with the driver source to comment away the suspected culprits (one then another) and see if your device would become recognized." - I think this may be over my knowledge to test. I can setup a screen-share so you can maybe (if you want/can) debug directly the issue - and maybe improve the overall NUT driver system, but I am afraid that I have no idea on how to start-complete the driver creation from scratch... If you have any other idea, please let me know. Thank you very much.
Cheers, the Wiki article refers to config-prereqs
document which details installation of third-party packages with tools and dependencies for building NUT on a variety of platforms, and normally the ./ci_build.sh inplace
should take care of configuring a new build to be similar to whatever you had installed before (so should benefit from same configs and permissions).
Then you can run a built driver from the build workspace, e.g. stop the existing services and run ./drivers/richcomm_usb -a tedelectric -DDDDDD -d 1
(maybe prefix by sudo
and add -u root
to CLI options, if it complains about permissions), and it should try to talk to the device and run one data-collection loop and dump the output in upsc
style, if successful.
By editing your copy of drivers/richcomm_usb.c
(e.g. to comment away suspicious code, or add debug printouts with upsdebugx()
lines similar to those nearby), and running make
again, you can iterate with modifications to the driver and check those theories above about which USB operations could have lost sight of the device for us. Maybe as a big blunt hammer for the first shot, just return 1
from the callback
method and comment away the rest of it.
Hi, I have recently purchased this TED Electric UPS (TED Electric 3100VA 1800W UPS Line Interactive - https://www.tedelectric.eu/product/3100va-1800w-ups-line-interactive-lcd-display-3-outputs-ted-electric/) and I want to add it to Home Assistant. In the packaging I found a CD pointing to Richcomm for drivers - and I am in the process of finding a CD-ROM to try to get those drivers from the CD and see at least who's the manufacturer. From the NUT https://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html list, I have tested with almost all drivers I found listed, none of the worked, the only one that showed some promise was indeed the richcomm one, but with the below errors:
I have tested with both the USB cable that came in the box and also with another one, in the VM where the HA is hosted, I have 2 USB devices listed - I have connected them both to the VM:
![Netchip Technology](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1ab936b8-7091-4bb7-b0b1-5abc725a3896)
Can someone please guide as to how I can add this UPS to HomeAssistant? The reasoning is that if I can add and monitor it via HA - then I can write automations to shutdown the environment and then the Synology in case the battery drops under a certain threshold.
Any help is greatly appreciated. And if I missed any information, please let me know and I will try to find it asap.
