GoKawiiluhubctl
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:

This table is by no means complete. If your hub works with uhubctl , but is not listed above, please report it by opening new issue at https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl/issues, so we can add it to supported table. In your report, please provide exact product model and add output from uhubctl and please test VBUS off support as described below in FAQ.
Note that quite a few modern motherboards have built-in root hubs that do support this feature - you may not even need to buy any external hub.
