Hey, /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/nut is a really good source of information on how to set it up.
When it comes down to my UPS (same "usbhid-ups" driver) I had to: # printf 'disable upd\nquit\n' | config -e -o /bsd-upd /bsd It might be necesary to disable uhid too, but I didn't need that so far for some reason. (Keep in mind that you can lose your keyboard/mouse in this latter case) Device node permissions also play a role in making this work. Check the output of: # usbdevs -vd /dev/usb0 And figure out which device node permission you need to adjust. In my case: # ls -la /dev/ugen0.* /dev/usb* crw-rw---- 1 root _ups 63, 0 Oct 8 13:02:30 2024 /dev/ugen0.00 crw-rw---- 1 root _ups 63, 1 Oct 8 13:02:30 2024 /dev/ugen0.01 [...] crw-rw---- 1 root _ups 61, 0 Oct 8 13:02:30 2024 /dev/usb0 But really, the pkg doc is very detailed and helpful.
