22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Problem with NUT

« on: November 05, 2022, 11:41:38 pm »

I tried initially to connect to my FW, failed to make any progress, so I tried the NAS. The UPS is connected to the FW or NAS via USB.

The NAS identifies the UPS as a Blazer UPS 1500. The NAS communicates with it fine, I can see all the stats and set actions if the AC fails. So I'm assuming the FW with a similar Blazer USB driver should work too.

I'd prefer my OPNSense FW to talk to the UPS. The FW is always on, the NAS isn't, it's set to auto-switch off at 02:00. The believe Asustor is able to be a NUT server too.

OPNsense with NUT has various drivers, amongst them the Blazer USB and serial drivers, as well as USBhid etc
I've tried them all now.

22.7 Legacy Series / Problem with NUT

« on: November 05, 2022, 10:53:01 pm »

OPNsense 22.7.7_1-amd64
FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3
OpenSSL 1.1.1s 1 Nov 2022

I have a Tecnoware EXA Plus 1500 UPS which is recognised by my Asustor using the Blazer USB driver. I can see voltage, frequency, state of charge, input voltage stats in realtime, but my OPNsense firewall doesn't want to know with the Blazer USB driver. Nothing in diagnostics.

What can I do to isolate the problem. I'm a FreeBSD/Linux newbie.
