You need an EV1527 compatible transmitter (the receiver linked is the common EV1527 type).

A proper UPS protects against bad power, surges, brownouts and reclosure events. So it’s not just about shutting down gracefully (but that too), but also protecting your expensive equipment.
Nothing wrecks your equipment and data faster than the power going off and on three times in 10 seconds.
