You are making everything harder than it needs to be by adding networking into the mix.
After about 10 minutes of working with apcupsd, I already agree with you and will be switching back.
Try NUT instead of

apcupsdFirst of all, thanks for the UPS reco. Worked like a charm!
Second of all ... this NUT. While I am tempted to just follow the advice since you've proven yourself right already today on this thread. But, tell me more!

Honestly, I have barely used both so far. But I like NUT better so far with the little I have setup.

Fair enough.
apcupsd was pretty easy to set up via USB. Now I just have to test to see if that XS setup really works.

NUT should work with any model UPS, not just APC like apcupsd.

@JaredBusch said apcupsd works with other UPSes as well.
That was my first question.

It is designed for APC, but you can use almost any UPS via USB if you set it to generic.
