How to cut of power to usb-c in sleep mode

Hi everybody


I own a new MacBook Pro 15" 2016. Since I have several external USB devices (sound card, Maschine music controller etc) I attached a USB-C to USB hub on one USB-C port at the Mac. One other USB-C Port at the Mac is used for power supply.


Now, I want to cut off the USB-C power for the external devices when I send the Mac to sleep, so that the external devices do not consume energy. Is there a way to do so? Actually, the stay powered.


I run Sierra, 10.12.14


Thanks

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.4), 2016

Your Apple computer or display must be powered on and be awake. If it's asleep, all ports provide their normal maximum output.
