USB3-HUB7-81X not working #559

Closed ben-burton closed 4 months ago

ben-burton commented 6 months ago

I managed to track down and purchased a USB3-HUB7-81X-EU which may be different variation to the USB3-HUB7-81X listed. On the device itself the model number is the same USB3-HUB7-81X but has a serial number with the additional -EU qualifier (I am based in the UK). uhubctl is reporting 2109:0812 instead of 2109:0813.

It is recognised by uhubctl and I was able to turn off data connection to all ports and blue lights when off on each port, but power still remained to the usb fan I tested with. Shame I couldn't get this one working :(

Thought I would share my experience in case it's useful info.

Per comment in README:

USB3-HUB7-81X (only works for 2 charge ports)

@ben-burton can you please test if it works for charge ports?

I couldn’t get it to work with any of the ports on the usb hub. Please help me to understand if I’ve misunderstood what you meant

Thanks for your report @ben-burton, I have removed this hub from supported list. I want to keep only reliably working hubs in the list.
