[Nut-upsdev] Newpoint UPS

[James Westover]

I just purchased a Newpoint 200894 UPS and I'm interested in getting it
going. It seems to use a USB to serial conversion that I'm not sure how
to get running.

Here's the lsusb -vvv

It seems to be the same device as this thread

but I'm not sure how to get things running. Please help!
