I managed to create a dummy device.

"upsrw dummy" gives me very few output. Can you please point me some
examples of upsrw output?

Is there a command I can run to get the list the ups on a machine?

Do you have an idea of the amount of supported UPS that return a serial number?

So far, the best system I can imagine is a forumlar on the server side
where the user
write the list of UPS devices to inventory (IP, hostname, login, pw, ups).

The agent gets the list, contact each device and get a full log with upsrw and
push back the data to the server.

IMO upsrw data structure is simple enough to avoid a new perl dependency on
UPS::Nut perl binding. What is your opinion about this?
