uhubctl is a command-line utility that controls USB power per-port on smart USB hubs that implement per-port power switching. It is written in C using libusb and runs on Linux, macOS, and BSD systems.
Use cases
- turn USB port power off and on from the command line
- remotely reset a USB device by power cycling its hub port
- control USB hub port power switching on Linux or macOS
- script USB power toggling for automated device resets
- find which USB hubs support per-port power control
- disable power to a specific USB port
When to choose
- you need command-line or scripted control of USB port power
- your hub is on the known-compatible list and supports per-port power switching
- you want to power-cycle misbehaving USB devices without unplugging them
When to avoid
- your USB hub does not implement per-port power switching
- you need a graphical interface for USB power management
