Hi.
I'm not sure if this is the right place for such a request. If there is a more appropriate way to do it please let me know.
I wanted to ask victron if they'd consider adding usbrelay to the venus OS repositories.
usbrelay is a small utility to control those very common usb relay boards (for example you can find them on amazon). Some "pro" points:
1) It only requires libusb and hidapi to interface with those boards (so, no sketchy kernel modules that can compromise the stability of the system).
2) the only unmet dependency with current venus OS is the hidapi library
3) it has python extensions and MQTT support
4) it's already in the official debian repositories
I've built it from source and installed on one of my cerbos and it works like I charm. I think it's very useful to extend the controlling capabilities of the cerbos.
Thanks
