From looking I don't believe that the driver supports a USB to Serial converter. However this is likely an issue with NUT itself, not the addon.

I have previously used Nut with this usb and UPS and it worked and read data.

from addon-nut.

When I run

sudo /lib/nut/apcsmart -D -a apc_smartups_sc620

with ups.conf:

[apc_smartups_sc620]
        driver = apcsmart
        port = /dev/ttyUSB1
        desc = "APC Smart-Ups SC 620"

I get all the data provided by the UPS. Still the same errors in addon-nut's log.

PS. Moved usb to ttyUSB1 to make sure nothing else is using it. Changed config accordingly. Still no better.

Cool, so it rules out the driver, which means it's likely either an issue with Docker, or Alpine.

The challenge is I have no way of duplicating this.

EDIT - As a thought, what happens when you set the port to AUTO and specify the vendor id or other options, such as:

port: auto
    config:
      - vendorid = 067b

@maslyankov We found an issue in which the ports where not being passed to the add on, please check again with the latest Edge release to see if it helps.
