reading from HID keyboard [message #180503]

Hi,
I have a device that appears to my machine as a HID keyboard (though actually it is an RFID reader)

I can read from it locally in php by using fopen("php://stdin",r)

The problem is if I shell into this machine via ssh, then stdin comes from the remote keyboard, not from the local HID device, and the above does not return any data.

I can read from /dev/input/by-id/<my device>

But this returns a very large number of bytes that it is not immediately obvious how to decode

Can anyone suggest a way forward here?
