Just installed uhubctl and tried it for my USB Hub, switching power off and on per-port works as desired.

USB- Hub : Startech USB-A Hub [Model No. HB30A4AIB] uhubctl Model Output: [2109:2817 VIA Labs, Inc. USB2.0 Hub, USB 2.10, 4 ports, ppps]

Thank you for providing this awesome free library!

I have Startech USB 3 hub too (maybe not this exact model), and it doesn't support vbus off, so I didn't add it to the table. Please check if your hub actually supports cutting power off per FAQ. Thanks!

I used it to power off and on USB Lamps, so basically did as described. I think the lamps were not recognised as USB devices when plugged in directly to the PC, so did not have any USB interface themselves ( though I just checked superficial ). This specific model also has mechanical buttons to power on and off specific USB ports, so it might be that they included the VBus voltage off interface together with the mechanical buttons just for this model. I don't have the hub at home but helped a friend with it, so I cannot check anything directly within a while. However, I hope I could provide some information of use. Thanks again for letting us use the library!
