I have Jon00's script running with Business Edition and a SU1500RM device. It does what's it's supposed to do, gathers info from the Data Log and updates devices that I can use as triggers. There are a couple of PowerChute settings that affect the usefulness of the script, whether data is logged and the frequency of updates. For example, if I have a short duration outage ( < 1 minute) it usually doesn't get logged, so the associated device is accurate. The trade-off is accuracy for those kinds of events versus amount of data being collected by PowerChute.
For other interesting info, like commercial power voltage, UPS load, etc. the script is very helpful.
I noticed that folks are using PowerChute with Back UPS devices. APC has two different signalling methods - Simple and Smart. I believe the Back product line has Simple Signalling and I'm not sure that the data you're interested in is available to Power Chute with that level of communication. If Power Chute doesn't have voltage, load, etc. details displayed in the UI then the data isn't going to be logged for HS to access.
Hope this helps you folks with your integration.
