CyberPower CP900AVR is supported by usbhid-ups. Output from upsc
is attached.<br>
<br>
Also... note that the list currently includes a 900AVR model
(amongst others) which does not (and never) existed. I suspect
this is intended to be a reference to the discontinued CPS900AVR
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems/other-ups/CPS900AVR.html">http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems/other-ups/CPS900AVR.html</a>)
which merely had a serial port and no USB port. CPS900AVR and
CP900AVR are distinct models supported by different drivers, so
having the ambiguous (and non-existent) "900AVR" in the list is
very confusing.<br>
<br>
More generally... the same almost certainly goes for 500AVR,
650AVR, 700AVR, etc. Ideally:<br>
1. all currently listed models of form xxxAVR (and supported by
the powerpanel driver) should be renamed to the more accurate
CPSxxxAVR.<br>
2. the full list of models of form CPxxxAVR (and supported by
usbhid-ups) should be fleshed out, including CP900AVR (noted
above) as well as the others in the lineup: CP550AVR, CP685AVR,
CP700AVR, CP1200AVR, CP1500AVR. I of course don't have any
concrete evidence that any besides CP900AVR work for sure, but I'd
put a lot of money on it :) They're almost all the same exact
thing with different batteries in them.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
