Would you post a few of those links? If nothing else, it might help others
searching for info on this.

I looked to see what apcupsd is doing, but they sign their kext now.

In the short term, what about using an embedded processor like a Raspberry Pi or

use native HID code such as the OS X interfaces), but that will take a fair
amount of design and testing.
