The addon isn't starting at this point, so there is nothing that can be done.

What hardware is this running on that doesn't appear to have any serial devices?

Correct it doesn't have any usb/serial devices.
It's a HassOS 3.13 VM under ESXi
I want to monitor via SNMP/Network/ snmp-ups

Add a dummy usb device so that the addon starts.

We can't do anything about this from an addon perspective.
