Actually MIDI Expression iO Manual mentions its 'computer independency' when USB powered. By looking around I found also this:

which can do the work when already owing a MIDI Expression (non iO). But, it comes for 88.80 UK£, thus the iO is the real solution for 3 continuous pedals.
For a single-expression pedal need:
US$ 219 https://www.sourceaudiostore.net/product/reflex-universal-expression-controller
which is (maybe) an 'all-inclusive' solution
or, cheaper,
MIDI Expression (US$ 49) + USB-Host (about US$ 100) + the pedal (today down to about US$ 30).
I still hope to find a better solution, although it is likely that MIDI Expression iO (as I already own two expression pedals and a continuous sustain pedal) is the stronger option today.
