The sysutiles/apcupsd/files/pkg-message.in advises one to enable uhid(4)
in kernel for the UPS-units to be recognized by the software:
NOTE that for USB cable you must comment out the line
device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
in your kernel configuration file and recompile the kernel.
Your keyboard and mouse will still work.
Unfortunately, the uhid(4) driver does not attach to either of the two
"Back-UPS" devices I have -- both are seen only as ugen and apctest does
not want to work with that. For example, when the current unit is
connected as:
ugen4.9: <Back-UPS RS 1000G FW869.L3 .D USB FWL3 American Power
Conversion> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON
the software reports:

Working off of the neighbor's generator after Sandy, I've developed a
whole new appreciation for UPS devices and would like for my system to
be able to interact with one directly and automatically...
Please, advise. Thanks!
