Yeah, even if I stop the daemon, I still get an error. Running apcaccess status reports "COMMLOST" so it looks like either apcupsd doesn't support my device or the USB port on the device itself no longer works. However, running lsusb does show the ups when connected.

I can't get apctest to work, and it looks like the project is dead and unmaintained. It hasn't had any new development or releases since 2016. With the ups running and connected to my computer via USB, running sudo apctest just gets me: apctest FATAL ERROR in apctest.c at line 313 Unable to create UPS lock file. If apcupsd or apctest is already running, please stop it and run this program again. apctest error termination completed.
