<div dir="ltr">Hello Charles,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your suggestion, however it didn't help. I was running it as root but I went ahead and added the -u root anyways. Nothing changed. So part or all the problem is that I don't have the "libhidups or libhid.usermap" files that the man page talks about:</div>

For more information, refer to the README file in nut/scripts/hotplug or nut/scripts/udev.</span><br>

</div>Same exact error?<br>
<br>
I suspect it's a permissions error the second time. Add "-u root" to the command line - since this was not a known VendorID:ProductID pair at release time, the udev/hotplug files don't adjust the permissions automatically, which can cause the "No matching HID UPS found error".<br>
<br>
A better solution for the long term: you could copy one of the other 09ae:xxxx lines in your NUT udev configuration. (You'll need to unplug and re-plug the USB cable for it to take effect.)<br>
