I cannot seem to connect to the phidget webservice (locally) from my website (https) in the chrome browser (kiosk mode).

Im getting the following error:

Failed to construct 'WebSocket': An insecure WebSocket connection may not be initiated from a page loaded over HTTPS

Anyonen got tips for me?

The only other time I've seen a user report this error is when they had breakpoints set somewhere in their Javascript that they'd forgotten to clear.

No breakpoints set :-)
Problem is that using (insecure) websockets in a secure website triggers this error. And i have to use a secure (https) website (pwa).

(I’m using the plain javascript implementation)

Yes, the network server does not support secure websockets (wss). You will probably needs to set up your webserver to proxy secure websocket connections to the network server.
