I meant to copy my response to the lm-sensors list and missed it
the first time. Sorry for the duplicate.

With regard to the UPS monitoring, you would use something like
NUT for that: <http://www.networkupstools.org/>

With that, you can ask for all kinds of information about the
state of the UPS, including line voltage, etc. (depending on
the features of the UPS of course).

Note that I use NUT on Linux. I don't know if it runs on Windows,
but as you didn't mention your OS, I'm just taking a guess  :-)

I can't answer about whether your specific sensor chips are
supported by libsensors, so I'll leave that for someone else
to answer.
