[OmniOS-discuss] usb hid ups monitoring

[Georgi Todorov]

I have a Cyber Power ups that I'm monitoring via USB and it works just fine. The tricky part is to use ugen omnios driver not hid. My device is 764,501.1 and this is what I did:

# rem_drv ugen 
# add_drv -i '"usb764,501.1"'  -m '* 0666 ups ups'  ugen 

Set the device to auto in your configuration and you should be all set. 

This is my original thread in OI :
