2 years ago If you have usbrelay from the official Ubuntu package, you have very old version. Next Ubuntu release will have an up-to-date version, which should work. You can try using the new package from Ubuntu Kinetic. If you're on a PC, download it here and install with dpkg -i usbrelay...deb.
If it cannot be installed from the package, download the source code from this repo and compile it (run make).
hi, maybe anyone has a clue, i am running ubuntu 22 in a LXC container but i can't control the relays here some detail: `root@ioBroker:~# lsusb Bus 001 Device 009: ID 16c0:05df Van Ooijen Technische Informatica HID device except mice, keyboards, and joysticks ...

but when i try to control the relais i does not work. i tryed with without sudo, i am not shure if i do something wrong. or maybe it does not work within containers. Any clue? ` root@ioBroker:~# usbrelay Device Found type: 16c0 05df path: /dev/hidraw0 serial_number: Manufacturer: www.dcttech.com Product: USBRelay2 Release: 100 Interface: 0 Number of Relays = 2 unable to open device
