OK, I think it is working now.
Here is what I did:
apt-get install nut-server
apt-get install nut-client
nano /etc/nut/nut.conf
MODE=standalone
nano /etc/nut/ups.conf
[myups]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
vendorid = 0463
pollfreq = 30
/sbin/upsdrvctl start
upsc myups
Prints some problems.
Reboot
/usr/sbin/shutdown -r now
Now when you execute upsc myups you should see the info of your UPS:
Init SSL without certificate database

If /sbin/upsmon print something like:
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.7.4
fopen /var/run/nut/upsmon.pid: No such file or directory
Using power down flag file /etc/killpower
Fatal error: insufficient power configured!
Sum of power values........: 0

Edit your upsmon.conf and change the values.
try: nano /etc/nut/upsd.users
[upsmon]
password = mypassword
upsmon master
chmod 640 /etc/nut/upsd.users
ls -lahrt /etc/nut/upsd.users
-rw-r----- 1 root nut 2,2K Dec 13 13:15 /etc/nut/upsd.users
nano /etc/nut/upsmon.conf
MONITOR myups@localhost 1 upsmon mypassword master
systemctl enable nut-monitor
/sbin/upsmon
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.7.4
fopen /var/run/nut/upsmon.pid: No such file or directory
UPS: myups@localhost (master) (power value 1)
Using power down flag file /etc/killpower
Here is what can be seen in syslog when I tested by cutting off the electricity:

After the boot when I execute upsmon I see the following:
/sbin/upsmon
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.7.4
Fatal error: A previous upsmon instance is already running!
Either stop the previous instance first, or use the 'reload' command.
Which means it is running and everything is fine, I guess :)
You can see the meaning of the variables, printed by upsc, such as ups.status, ups.timer.shutdown, battery.charge, here: https://networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.pdf
