Anyone familiar with UPS/backup?

More detail on the OS-X issue on the CyberPower UPSes would be helpful. I am not a Mac guy per se, but I am wondering, is it the built in UPS monitoring software that Apple builds, or is it the CyberPower software that you are running? I thought the Mac UPS software was more or less based off of upsd which is an open source product I use with CentOS to monitor my CyberPower UPSes.... (The CP software for Linux is CLI only, and not networkable, upsd can integrate with NUT which means the UPSes can be checked across my network etc...

Looks like OS X/Darwin comes with it's own UPS support named ioupsd:

ioupsd monitors UPS's. PowerManagement's configd plugin automatically launches ioupsd whenever a UPS is connected to the system. Most HID-compliant USB UPS's are supported at a basic level by OS X; further support must be provided by manufacturers. If a UPS is unsupported, OS X will not automatically launch ioupsd.

Other than that brief false positive every day it works as advertised. AFAIK CyberPower does not supply software for OS X.
