Works with Forza FX-2200LCD using nutdrv_qx driver

[bayasdev]

Hi, just wanted to document the config that works with this Forza FX-2200LCD UPS which I recently picked up due to the frequent power outages that Ecuador has been experiencing in the last weeks.

/etc/nut/ups.conf

pollinterval = 1
maxretry = 3

        driver = "nutdrv_qx"
        port = "auto"
        vendorid = "0665"
        productid = "5161"
        product = "USB to Serial"
        vendor = "INNO TECH"
        bus = "001"
        desc = "Homelab UPS"

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-nut-ups.rules

SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="nut-usbups_rules_end"

PD: disabling beeper is not supported on this UPS.

PD2: nut-scanner output showed blazer_usb as compatible but it does not work with this model.

And thanks again to all the ppl for making it possible to monitor UPSs from Linux instead of using propietary software which only works on Windows and is much less flexible (eg: no exporting to Prometheus, etc) 🙌🏼

Thank you for the report! Please do note that NUT v2.7.4 (while still popular in many of the not-latest distros) is rather old. Where possible, it is suggested to update to some v2.8.x (or build your own ;) ), hopefully for new features or at worst to catch new bugs early :)
