Does a ReadyNAS 104, USBHID-UPS(8) driver and CyberPower UPS - can they work together?

I've been googling all day and can't find an solid answer.

 

I've found that to connect to the CyberPower VALUE2200ELCD UPS (or 800) you need USBHID-UPS drivers but I can't find information on whether the USBHID-UPS can be installed on the ReadyNAS104 and if it can be, will it communicate with UPS?

 

I don't need anything fancy, just for NAS to shut down gently if battery on UPS gets too low.

 

Am I hoping for too much for such a cheap NAS?

 

Any advice will be appreciated.

    We use Network UPS Tools (NUT) for UPS monitoring. usbhid-ups is one of the drivers for NUT and it is present in our installation.
