hid-watchdog

This is a simple service to communicate with cheap USB WatchDog timers that create a USB-HID device:

USB HID "v5" Watchdog Timer

Please use with caution as it's not well tested!

Install

Installation on Ubuntu

Create your VirtualEnv, activate it.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

You will need to install a library on your operating system to interface with the USB-HID device:

apt install libhidapi-hidraw0

Alternatively you may be able to use "libhidapi-libusb0" but I didn't have any success with this.
