That question is a little too generic as a USB device can be many things. :)
Do you have a commandline program that communicates to this USB device or can it be changed through an URL?

thanks.

I have an old flashlight mountained on my roof. I want use this light in my zwave alarmsystem.

All modules needs 24V input.

I have an usb boost to 12V cable for the 12V flashlight.
I want to connect this device to my raspberry using this usb-cable.

So what i really want to know is how i can switch on/off my usb-gateway of the raspberry. When Domoticz gets an burglary-alarm the usb has to get powered an the flashligt has to go on.

I am still finding my way in Domoticz and Raspberry Pi 2B+.
