Hello, Thanks for the response.
I was also concerned about that restriction. One can download the specification for the protocol which lists all the parameters that can be obtained from the UPS. I guess there is a reason why theses UPS's are not supported. I will look into the option of changing my UPS, and getting something that is better supported.
