However, it doesn't show any /dev/ttyUSB*. I'm not sure what I have missing here.

    There is 500 seconds between these two lines, I'm not sure if they are really related: [72169.554498] hid-generic 0003:0665:5161.000D: hiddev0,hidraw7: USB HID v1.00 Device [INNO TECH USB to Serial] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.6/input0 [72685.019094] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial. The first part suggests the UPS acts like a input device (maybe a power button?)

  • did you look for new device files with other names?

  • Jakob I don't think so. @jP_wannN what is your suggestion that I should try?

  • Possibly it's created with another name. Check if there is any /dev node created by following instruction from How to allow software access to any USB devices?

  • Same as Jakob said in the comment, it seems that the new device is binded usbhid driver. You may check that using:

    lsusb -t
    
  • Another way to check all that using udevadm

    1. Unplug it
    2. Run udev monitor

      sudo udevadm monitor -u
      
    3. Copy longest path, use it to get all needed info

      sudo udevadm info -a --path=/sys/<thatpath>
