usb_hid component is missing the number.h file

I'm trying to use this external component today and getting a compilation error:

Ah I figured this out, I needed to include a top level number: component as well.

@rohankapoorcom Did you get this working where it's actually connected to the ups?

[rohankapoorcom]

Yes, it's working for two of my CyberPower UPSes, but not able to talk to my TrippLite UPSes.

That's great. I figured there was something I am doing wrong and won't be sad if so!

I am starting fresh based on your yaml and will try again.

Still no luck. Built fine and even added nut_server. Have tried an APC unit and Cyberpower. At this point I don't know anything beside it being my knockoff esps. Have order another so will see.
