Mike;
Let me please clarify if using that module I recommended. I believe you will need a five volt or so wall wart plugged into the outlet you want to monitor, and this will go into one of the digital inputs (you tie its ground to the module's ground).
You will need a wall wart to power the unit itself, and this needs to be on a UPS of course to get the signal to your network equipment (which of course needs to be on a UPS). Any other inputs would need to be contact closure (see diagram attached) or use this methodology.

I use this same methodology with a RaspberryPi (except I use a 3.3 volt DC wall wart into an input).
You may want to look into a RaspberryPi, but from your post I was lead to believe you wanted something that was just plug and play with minimal hassle and could get up and running quickly.
