Check out sysutils/apcupsd. I have it running with similar APC

enough (5 seconds I believe), I get a message sent to my cell phone
(via
smtp).
Seeing that we are neighbors, I strongly suspect that you had the
opportunity to see your system in action last night.
I learned that I need to do a bit of tuning of my system, but things
mostly went as expected using apcupsd. So I also recommend apcupsd.
I have two machines on the UPS (an APC Back-UPS XS 1200) and the
apcupsd server shutdown before the client figured that it should
shutdown. I also have a smaller UPS for the various switches and
things that don't need clean shutdowns, and surprisingly that one ran
out of battery before the main UPS even though during my tests just a
few weeks ago it outlasted the main one.
It also appears (I haven't fully confirmed yet) that my ISP started
having problems about 10 minutes after I lost power at my location.
