The answer is a bit like the joke from "Radio Yerevan" in the 80s. "In principle yes, but.....". Let me put it this way: this device is network-compatible, but not standalone. I.e. it is connected via a USB-to-Smart bridge with a proprietary protocol (Schneider Electrics). In the past they had switched to open source compatibility, now it's just proprietary. So let's assume that the device you are operating and is connected to the UPS with USB-A to Eth (Smart) has the Windows OS. Then you can set this up with the proprietary software from Schneider Electric, the documentation can be found at:
https://www.se.com/it...Then you can also download the software and see if it runs, this also works without a group, but to see if the installation goes well:
https://www.se.com/it...The software you need to look for is: Power Chute Personal Edition 3.1.0 for Windows.
Otherwise I have to warn you. I use the group for a NAS (Truenas Scale) and a second one for a Linux computer under Tumbleweed Opensuse and despite a lot of reading and trying I have not succeeded in accessing the device, the reversed engeneered interface, which was quite capable of doing so under Linux, no longer works (because the protocol is no longer released, consequently NUT
https://networkupstools.org/ for Linux is not executable with the part, at least I did not succeed. Locally it works very well and it worked well before. But you will only receive an email and SMS if the device using the UPS is running Windows and Scheider's software. (They have probably been bought in some way).
If you want to use open software or if you want the UPS group to be able to communicate independently, I advise you to use Chinese brands with simple LAN technology (like Blue Walker or similar) because Ethernet never lies. Or you have to dig deeper into your pockets to have a mini operating system standalone on board that can send an email. Because the price range you are looking at does not normally have this standalone functionality. I hope this helps you. The link to the manufacturer will take you to the manual, which I would read very carefully.

P.S. Reliability: it's really very good. They run quietly, don't stink and the battery is easy to replace. The automated self-tests are also good and programmable.
