I use cyberlink, so I haven't done anything with powerchute. The NAS interface lets you set the power down threshold but that is it. You can also export the NAS monitoring to another ReadyNAS or a PC (for cases where the UPS is shared). That export uses NUT (http://www.networkupstools.org/) You might be able to connect the UPS to the PC, and install both NUT and PowerChute there. That might allow the NAS to monitor the PC. It requires that the PC be always on though (and of course you also need a switch that is also protected by the UPS whenever you are using network monitoring).

Thanks. My NAS is located in a garage room and my PC is a long way away. Anyway, I already have a UPS on my main PC anyway.
Looks like 2 things (apart from backup/security) that I wanted in particular with this NAS box have been a non starter.
Controlling the UPS (this post) and acting as a printer server (another post launched today).

Thanks again for the contribution.
