Hello everyone,
I’m encountering issues connecting my Eaton Ellipse Pro 650 UPS with the Network UPS Tools (NUT) on my Home Assistant setup. The setup is running on a Synology NAS using the Virtual Machine Manager, and the UPS is correctly connected via USB and passed through to the VM.
When attempting to start the NUT drivers, I’m greeted with the following warnings and error messages:
[14:56:35] INFO: Starting the UPS drivers...
WARNING: warn_if_bad_usb_port_filename(): port argument specified to
the driver is "/dev/hidraw1" but USB drivers do not use it and rely on
libusb walking all devices and matching their identification metadata.
NUT documentation recommends port="auto" for USB devices to avoid confusion.
libusb1: Could not open any HID devices: insufficient permissions on everything
No matching HID UPS found
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.47 (2.8.0)

Subsequently, the driver fails to start, and the container stops. The dmesg log indicates that the device is bound as “/dev/hidraw1”. Here is an excerpt from the dmesg log showing the device recognition:
