You can use ORMi to create a watcher so you can get information about any new device:

WMIHelper helper = new WMIHelper("root\\CimV2");

WMIWatcher watcher = new WMIWatcher("root\\CimV2", "SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 1 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_PnPEntity'");
watcher.WMIEventArrived += Watcher_WMIEventArrived;

And then you can watch for the events:

private static void Watcher_WMIEventArrived(object sender, WMIEventArgs e)
{
    //DO YOUR WORK
}
