Email notifications?

[Anonymous user]

I just purchased a Back-UPS (BE750G) and installed PowerChute Personal Edition. Is there any way I can pull information from PowerChute via a script? Does PowerChute write the the Windows event log? I was thinking about writing a powershell script to email me when it goes on battery power. I'm not sure if the UPS beep will wake me up if I'm asleep, and I won't receive a notification if I'm away from my home office. Is there a WMI object I can access since the battery is connected via USB? I'm really looking for any way to get battery/power status for scripting. Thanks!
