FAQ

Do I need admin?

No, normal operation should not require admin rights.

Can I leave the dongle plugged in?

Yes. The LIGHTSPEED dongle can stay plugged in; the signal is based on the physical headset state, not the USB connection.

How does AutoSwitch know the headset is on?

It queries the device battery state in G HUB (GET /battery/<deviceId>/state): while powered on it returns a payload; when powered off, it doesn't.

Why is there a delay when powering them off?

Two consecutive empty responses are required (~3 seconds) before switching to the alternative output, to avoid flapping on a one-off G HUB response.

Does it work with other Logitech headsets?

Not guaranteed: the battery pattern was verified on the PRO X 2 on 2026-08-07. The installer auto-matches devices whose name contains "PRO X 2".

Can I configure more than one alternative output?

No. The installer captures exactly two outputs: headset and alternative.

If a G HUB update breaks it, what do I do?

The WebSocket API is unofficial and Logitech can change it. Check AGENT.md in the repo to rebuild the mechanism, and open an issue.
