riello_usb driver: 'vendorid' is not a valid variable name for this driver

[martin3142]

Using:

nut-scanner -U

gave the output:

Scanning USB bus.
[nutdev1]
        driver = "riello_usb"
        port = "auto"
        vendorid = "04B4"
        productid = "5500"
        product = "USB to Serial"
        vendor = "Cypress Semiconductor"
        bus = "003"

However, using that in /etc/nut/ups.conf causes the upsdrv service to fail with the error:

'vendorid' is not a valid variable name for this driver

The fix is to comment out or delete the offending lines to instead use:

[nutdev1]
        driver = "riello_usb"
        port = "auto"
        bus = "003"

And that works fine. (Aside: 'nutdev1' can be renamed as wished.)

Should the riello_usb driver be updated to accept those keyword values rather than error out? Or should nut-scanner be made aware to not output those superfluous lines?

Hopefully that is of help to other Riello UPS users.

Thanks,
Martin

Just to comment that while the configuration successfully connects to the UPS it results in inaccurate data as reported by @martin3142 at #750

Still having the same problem. Your post helped.

I wonder if after #1763 got merged (currently only on master, not in a release) the matching options behaved better - e.g. the vendorid issue noted above.
