Thierry,

many low-end UPSes have a built-in USB-to-serial converter that uses
the default Cypress vendor ID.

Nick,

not sure if you already got this working or not, but libusb-based
packages such as NUT can't work with uhid* device nodes - you need to
either de-configure the uhid driver (in FreeBSD, I think a separate
driver handles USB/HID keyboard and mouse) or blacklist that specific
USB VID/PID combination. When it is configured correctly, the UPS will
be claimed by the ugen driver.
