USB over IP Extension

[rsmanning]

I love the RS-232 terminal built in, I'd also love to see an extension to do USB/IP via usbip. This device could be the host (hopefully POE version) and it could connect to a USB on an IoT device for remote flashing and diagnostics. This has Windows and Linux client options for mapping the device.

I have some IoT ESP32 chips used in industrial monitoring and home automation (as do millions of people out there) and some are in hard to reach places. Sometimes low level rewrites or recovery is required got numerous reasons via USB. This Jet KVM is tiny compared to other solutions on the market for this purpose and cheaper. Would be amazing to add this functionality, once this got out in the Home Assistant community I'm sure you'd sell more units as well :)

Other well known uses for USB/IP is USB License key dongles on a network, simple remote backup to USB storage, printer/scanner sharing, remote device control like DSLR camera (combined with HDMI in would be awesome), etc.
