lsusb does not give you this information. If it is just a HID device as
Damjan hinted it will not show up as ttyUSB* anyway. Perhaps it exposes
a serial interface, in this case a tty device node would be exposed.
Assuming the device does indeed expose a serial interface, I suggest
you write a udev rule that will just rename the device node. This means
when you plug it in it will not show up ad ttyUSB* or whatever, it
will always show up as ttyMyCustomDevice, which will in turn make it
easier for you to identify it.
Something like this would work (/etc/udev/rules.d/99-my-custom-
device.rules):
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1781", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1781",
ATTRS{serial}=="XXXX", SYMLINK+="ttyMyCustomDevice"
If you will only have one of those plugged in you can remove the serial
field, if not you will need to figure out wich ttyUSB/ACM* device is it
and the run:
udevadm info -a /dev/ttyUSB* | grep serial
And filling out the serial field in the rule.
