Roger, Thanks. I think that may be what I was trying to say, but not expressing adequately. In other words have UPSD running on a Pi at the UPS and reporting back to some central system. Doing it by "push" from the Pi or "poll" from the central system is pretty much a wash as far as I'm concerned.
Is that what you are suggesting? Or did I misunderstand?

Let upsd do all the hard work of talking to the UPS's.
