I have an APC BR900 GI UPS - but it;s not detected in the Energy Saver preferences. I'm running an iMac 27" with 32 gig and the 3 TB fusion drive.
I did a PRAM reset which made no difference - and there's no power icon in the top menu bar. All worked perfectly on Mavericks.
Any advice/help will be gratefully received!

I had a similar problem after upgrading to Yosemite. In my case the UPS USB cable was connected to a hub that was connected to the Mac Pro. In my case the hub was in the form of additional USB ports on an Apple Cinema display. I found that if I connected the USB directly to the Mac instead of into the hub it addressed the problem.
Thanks - the USB is connected directly to the Mac already though... Thanks for taking the time to reply though.
I have the same problem. Not difference between direct connection USB cable of my UPS (SVEN Pro 1000+) to USB3 port Mac Pro Late 2013 or USB2 port Thunderbolt Display or USB3 port ORICO 7ports USB hub connected to USB3 port Mac Pro. I never seen UPS icon at Save energy settings when upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite.
Inside About this Mac detailed report USB section I can see my UPS as STD UPS MON V1.0.
NUT drivers and Upsilon monitor for Mac OS (under Darwin) in Terminal window also can't detect UPS.
At the same time in Windows 8 under Parallels 10 for Yosemite (works as virtual machine at external USB 3 disk drive) I can run Upsilon utility for UPS and can see all UPS parameters after "I say" Parallels to connect UPS to Windows 8 virtual machine instead of Mac.
My wife's MacBook Pro (late 2014 16 gig core i7 512 Gb flash) has the same symptoms.
I'd like to hear any ideas and recommendation.
Best regards.
Had a long conversation on Apple support chat. 'Rob' covered a lot of ground, eventually said that it appears that this is a common problem on all but laptops (my Mackbook Pro detects the UPC) and that it's to do with the architecture of the 'plugged' models. I should report it to Apple engineers and also to APC, who are probably aware of the problem. APC say there is no such problem that they are aware of and that there are no updates in the offing. So where do we go from here, I wonder. I did think about reinstalling OSX but I'm also running a Parallels Windows 7 installation and though I don't use it frequently, I can't afford to lose it.
Any ideas anybody has would be most welcome!
Unfortunately Yosemite reinstall not solve UPS problem. I say about "clean" Yosemite install from USB flash disk with Macintosh HD formatting. I have no any positive results. I think it's Yosemite bug but have no ideas how to fix it :-(
Thank you m800he - I was thinking about reinstalling but you've saved me the hassle!
