Failure getting NUT ups alias, Socket error

[Brianr1028]

Hi - I got NUT installed on a Orange Pi 800 and am able to get stats from it by running upsc cyberpower@localhost. When I try to add the ups via the NUT add-in for Home Assistant I keep getting, Failure getting NUT ups alias, Socket error. When run my Ubuntu VM with the UPS connected within it and not on the host HA is able to auto detect it. I am not dealing with separate subnets here. HA, Orange Pi and Ubuntu are all on my 192.168.10.x subnet. When trying to add NUT in HA I have tried with hostname, IP address of the Orange Pi and I even used a0d7b954-nut as the host name. The password to connect to NUT is set correctly in upsmon.conf. I have set upsd.conf to listen using 127.0.0.1 and also tried 0.0.0.0. I am running out of ideas as to what might be going on here. I even setup a new instance of HA on a new VM. On one side note when the Ubuntu VM is connected to the UPS and HA auto detects in I still get, Failure getting NUT ups alias, Socket error. But its further than what I am getting when the UPS is attached to Orange Pi 800. Suggestions and ideas welccomed.
