I don't think there is a backend for it yet.

As root, please run 'lsusb -vvv' and post the portion that shows your
device. If it is more than a couple of KB, please gzip the output and
attach it.

Depending on whether the device is actually a HID UPS, or just a USB
UPS with a USB-to-serial converter built-in, you can try the "generic"
backend in newhidups. There are details in the newhidups man page, but
note that the generic backend is for debugging, and it will not
provide enough information to upsd to actually monitor or shut down a
system.
