AFAICS devices these days seem to be using HID because it means they can get away without requiring custom kernel-mode drivers on Windows. This lets them avoid a huge support headache. Of course if the device connects only to Linux and MacOSX then you don't necessarily need a kernel-mode driver anyway so this necessity goes away. > Does anyone know, where I can get Specifications (anything about it and > not only PDU/UPS) or can tell me how I can code it?
