As I know it is not USB<->SERAIL adapter because command “ls /dev/serial/by-id” do not show it…

Any idea how to fix issue?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I get it working but is unstable and it after some time just stop working and need reboot VM to get it work again. Restarting NUT addon do not help. I don’t remember corectly if repluging USB help. I think that this is problem of USB PCIe passthrough or USB3.0 compatibility… When I will have more time I will test again different options(Assign only USB to VM instead complete USB card)…

Right now I use this configuration:

devices:
  - name: UPS
    driver: blazer_usb
    port: auto
    config:
      - vendorid = 0665
      - productid = 5161
mode: netserver
shutdown_host: false
users:
  - actions: []
    instcmds:
      - all
    password: testpass
    username: test
list_usb_devices: false

I have used another method: I have configured the UPS directly on my Synology NAS and using the network server of the NAS with only the integration, not the add-on.
It works fine so far. I’m getting slightly different sensors, but at least I can see the charge and utilization, which is important

Mine works with this code:

devices:
  - name: myups
    driver: blazer_usb
    config:
      - all
    port: auto
mode: netserver
shutdown_host: "false"
users:
  - password: xxxxx
    username: ProLink
    instcmds:
      - all
    actions: []
log_level: debug
list_usb_devices: "true"
