uhubctl

uhubctl is utility to control USB power per-port on smart USB hubs. Smart hub is defined as one that implements per-port power switching.

Original idea for this code was inspired by hub-ctrl.c by Niibe Yutaka: https://www.gniibe.org/development/ac-power-control-by-USB-hub

Compatible USB hubs

Note that not many USB hubs correctly support per-port power switching. Some of them are no longer manufactured and can be hard to find.

This is list of known compatible USB hubs:
