[Nut-upsdev] Yet another HID device - Cyberpower AE550

[Peter Selinger]

Hi Joe,

I read between the lines that (a) you are using the newhidups driver,
and (b) it is working. Is this correct? You might want to post the
output of "upsc" just for the record. 

A load measurement is not really essential, although it is nice to
have. Shutdown is usually initiated based on remaining battery
capacity.
