I am trying to set up an automation to launch or quit a specific app when my external keyboard is connected. It would seem like the _USB Device Did_ trigger isn't firing and I'm unsure if there is some other setting I need to configure.

Attached are a couple of screenshots: 1 shows the USB system report with the relevant info on the keyboard and the other shows the automation setup.

This particular run has the keyboard connecting through a USB 2.1 hub, but I attempted a direct to laptop connection with no joy. At the very least, I expect the HUD Overview to fire when the event is detected.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, I'm also having this issue! Can't seem to get the USB device trigger to work.

I'm trying to set up trigger that will enable presets when I have a particularly wired mouse/keyboard at work connected, but disables for other devices. I've tried both the vendor/product id of the keyboard and the mouse, but neither of them seem to trigger or display a HUD.

Could you check whether 6.635 helps with this? I made some changes to address issues with some connection setups.

Yeah, Andreas, it does seem to be working now with 6.639.

Thanks for the quick support.
