I think it's a glorified outlet switch that passes data through. I don't think it bridges usb data to zigbee.

I don't know what you would use this for. Disconnecting devices like a printer I guess.

Most devices have a button you need to press to turn it on after power is enabled, so yeah, struggling to find a use case too.

That's what I figured, but I saw "high speed USB 2.0" a bunch of times and got confused.

I'll be sticking with my smart outlets for the foreseeable future, can plug multiple USB hubs into a single one. Feels like it would only be an added benefit in a few minor things or if you're really really space constrained.
