Tool needed: uhubctl Github: https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl For Linux or Macos, sometimes we need to turn off  a usb device from command line. This is very useful when there is a faulty device but hard to remove or when testing certain usb devices. For linux, please refer to the Github readme for installation. For Macos, we can install uhubctl using brew: brew tap mvp/uhubctl https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl brew install uhubctl     To list all the current usb devices, use the command: uhubctl To turn of a certain device, use the following command: uhubctl -l {location} -p {port} -a off The {location} means the hub number (e.g. 1-1, 2-2, 2-1, etc.). The {port} means the port number. In the example above, the {location} is 1-1 and the {port} is 3.
