Is there any way to get notifications when a specific USB device is connected to your computer?
Hi all!
As the title implies, I'm looking for a way to receive a notification (or, ideally, an always-on indicator) when a specific USB device is connected to my computer.
I use a USB hub to switch peripherals between personal and work computers but there's no obvious indicator of which computer the peripherals are connected to without attempting to use them. In my case, it's a webcam and some audio hardware that swap between the computers, so to test which computer they're connected to I have to play some audio.
If anyone knows of a way to natively receive a notification/indicator or create a system tray icon that only shows up when a specific device is connected I'd really appreciate it - my usual search engine queries aren't getting any results. I'm also open to 3rd party apps if they're known to be safe.
Thanks!
