Software control USB power on some USB hubs
What? They list several hubs that work, I guess you could buy any of these.

I2c-USB-hub: An i2C Controllable USB 2.0 Hub
I wonder if it supports software control? I haven’t messed with this in a long long time, but here’s a C program for controlling USB port power via software.
It works on a pretty limited set of hubs, because most cheap out on including the switches.

Kb2040 and usb hub not seeing all of my boards
https://github.com/codazoda/hub-ctrl.c or https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl can be used if the hubs have "Per-port power switching". The second link also has a long description.

Software control USB power on some USB hubs
I've used this in the past for power cycling USB-powered embedded boards in a test farm, but the dependency on specific hubs is a pain. In the end it was easier to dedicate an RPi per board. The generation of RPi I was using could switch the overall USB power and that was good enough [1].
