Did you try the shipped program? Did it work?

If it declares itself as HID device maybe it is simple:

Try running evtest (source attached ) on the correct device
- It could be /dev/input/event0, /dev/input/event1, etc. depending on
how many other HID devices you have. When evtest runs, create events
(for example, disconnect the UPS from the mains and reconnect).
