 if you want to use full usbhid, you need to find APC models which
support it(like Back-UPS Pro).
 normally newer APC models only export very few information via
usbhid. newer APC use microlink(no nut driver), some support
modbus(apcupsd driver).

Thanks tbskyd

As the UPS also communicates via Ethernet, I was wondering whether some non usb
drivers would have been developed to collect ups data.
Right now, I?m only getting basic emails from APC when the ups is on battery or
back to power.
Thanks
