It probably won't be of any help. The maintainer of the 'apcsmart'  
driver retired from active development a long time ago, so unless  
you're willing to take over his task, this won't help much. As far as  
I know, none of the active developers has an APC SmartUPS available.

That could be, but I honestly don't know for sure. Some commands will  
require repeating them within a 3..15 seconds window in order to be  
accepted by the driver.

Installing the latest source is usually a good idea, although I doubt  
this will bring you much further in this case. See above, the apcsmart  
driver is not getting much of the developers attention. We will apply  
patches that are sent to the nut-devel mailinglist (you may wish to  
subscribe to that). If you're willing to be the maintainer of this  
driver, please do tell us.

Best regards, Arjen
