It's true that the Duo does not have this option exposed in the UI, but my instructions (two posts up) should have exactly the same effect as that UI setting. You don't need to install the SNMP add-on to do this. I have a Duo myself and I can confirm that the UPS sharing is working using the instructions above without any extra add-ons. (SNMP might allow you to monitor other things on the device, but it's not needed in this particular instance.) If you're nervous, you can always make a backup copy of those config files so that you can revert in the case of trouble (which I'd recommend as a good general practice anyway).
