Very easy mod to control the UGREEN usb switches with EspHome.

  1. Take the enclosure apart (see images)
  2. Bridge the SMD pads on the pcb near the USB MINI-B connector (blue line on the photo)
  3. Flash an ESP32-C3 board (see photo) with the following in the config:
  - platform: gpio
    pin:
      number: GPIO18
      mode: OUTPUT_OPEN_DRAIN
      inverted: true
    id: usb_switch

button:
  - platform: output
    name: "Toggle USB Source"
    output: usb_switch
    duration: 100ms
    icon: "mdi:swap-horizontal"

status_led:
  pin:
    number: GPIO8
    inverted: true```

4. Connect the two with a USB Type-C to USB MINI-B cable

That’s it ✨

A USB device that is shared between multiple computers. This lets you pick which computer gets it.
