After adding it to the database updating the configuration file is required:

Update Nut

yum --enablerepo=geekery update nut

If you are installing a USB UPS, softlink this file in udev rules directory:

ln -s /lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules

and reload udev rules and trigger device detection with these commands:

udevcontrol reload_rules
udevtrigger

The follow the instructions at Uninterruptable_Power_Supply

Why

I have a Dell UPS Rack 1920W - if doesn't work on the standard Nut version. After this upgrade it does on the default configuration.
