The software does seem quite good, it allows you to configure a variety of options as well as email alerts or through their cloud app. It connects to the mac without software. Works very well with the supplied software and with nut on linux server.
Cons
At 1 am i was awoken by a few loud beeps. Maybe this is a faulty unit, but i rather suspect that the thermal design did not accommodate recharging a fresh battery from its fully discharged state.
Highlights
Quality
It’s hooked up with the usb and works with the usbhidups driver
Works very well with the supplied software and with nut on linux server
Only issue is that the configuration eg level to alert that the battery is low can only be changed with the supplied software
Competitiveness

Connecting it to my nas for autoshutdown was a doddle
