as per http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsd.users.html, have you
also set 'actions' and 'instcmds'?

note that, as per the menu entry in the above link (top of the page), you
have a 8500VA ;-)

thanks for your report.

calling upsrw with no params will give you the list of supported settings.
ie:
$ upsrw myups

> $ upscmd myups beeper.toggle
> Username (backend): upsuser
> Password:
> OK

the same goes for upscmd with the "-l" option

knowing that your UPS support the "low battery" notion is enough.
the rest is on the NUT side.
