I have a ton of zwave plugs and such with USB but non of them cN be turned off (to reset whatever is attached) so they get plugged into a switchable outlet.
Does anyone make a switchable usb either alone or in a strip/outlet?

Can’t you just plug a USB charger into a zwave/zigbee outlet to accomplish the samething?
If I want to use up a switchable for usb but I don’t want to do that.
I haven’t seen one, but I’ve seen a lot of consumer requests over the last six years. Even the Wi-Fi ones like Kasa have the USB ports as always on.
I suspect there’s an issue with inrush current and the manufacturers are afraid of blowing out connected devices.
@thesmartesthouse might be able to say why the USB slot on their newest ZOOZ pocket sockets are always on rather than controllable.
It’s mostly about the size and cost of the devices. We haven’t seen that much demand for a switchable USB port but note taken! We’ll keep you guys posted if we update any of the existing products or create a new one with this functionality.
