It looks like the Pinebook Pro has a /sys/class/power_supply driver:

https://github.com/Syonyk/pinebookpro/blob/master/pbp-status.sh#L10 <https://github.com/Syonyk/pinebookpro/blob/master/pbp-status.sh#L10>

so theoretically, you could poll that interface and export some data for dummy-ups, as suggested in this thread:

Admittedly, a compiled NUT driver for Linux power_supply devices would be better:
