| Dec 21, 2023 at 4:22 | comment | added | atreeon | Is this really not possible, 2023? My usb powered monitor (and couple of other bits) draws power when in sleep mode and I have no way to conserve the battery other than unplug them all. So disappointed with Apple. | |
| Jun 27, 2021 at 9:16 | comment | added | jksoegaard | I don't think so, no. At least I haven't seen any developments in that area since then. | |
| Jun 27, 2021 at 5:15 | comment | added | nisc | Is this still not possible in 2021? (I opened a similar question, but it was closed and I was referred to this one.) @jksoegaard | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 9:02 | comment | added | jksoegaard | I know it doesn't support it - I wrote that in the answer. However other utilities might. And yes, I know it doesn't turn the whole hub off - it turns all the ports off - that's also what I wrote. | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 8:56 | comment | added | mvp | Thanks for editing, but you really should remove word ganged - uhubctl doesn't support hubs with ganged power switching. Also, uhubctl cannot turn whole hub off - all ports yes, but hub itself will continue to work. | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 8:46 | comment | added | jksoegaard | I have edited to make it clearer what I meant. In this case it doesn't really matter because the question only required turning the whole hub off. I implemented a corresponding utility to uhubctl on Linux to solve a problem many years ago with a CAN-interface that would corrupt its own state, so I haven't got any in-depth experience with uhubctl - thanks for sharing the details! | |

| Jul 2, 2019 at 8:22 | comment | added | mvp | It is incorrect to use ganged here. All USB hubs either don't support power switching, or support ganged switching (that is, for all ports at once), or support per-port (individual) power switching. uhubctl only supports per-port power switching, ganged hubs will not be recognized (I'm uhubctl author). | |
