Any plans to create an onoff shim for the pi4?

@JonF We have something along those lines in the works… It’s called Utility HAT, and it has USB-C power input (that back-powers the Pi 4) and on/off capability, a speed-controllable fan, 240x240 colour LCD, four buttons, and an RGB LED, as well as I2C expansion. Should be out in the next couple mont…

Thanks, but I was just hoping for the simple on/off functionality. I have clusters of Pis mounted vertically and was looking for a nice way to power on and off via a button press.

It should be entirely possible to use OnOff SHIM as it is currently with a Pi 4 and a 2.5A micro-B power supply, providing you don’t have any power-hungry peripherals attached. I’ll solder one I have here up and confirm that it does indeed work, but I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t… There’s a…

Yep, confirmed working on my Pi 4 with full power and on/off functionality from an official Raspberry Pi 2.5A micro-B power supply (the black one)…

I could confirm, that the OnOff Shim doesn’t support a Raspberry Pi 4B with below listed peripherals: analog speakers (Trust Compact 2.0, 6 Watts peak). The Power is drained via USB connection from the Pi. Neuftech card reader connected via USB) 27" Monitor (Dell U2715H) connected via HDMI…

Shut down can be done via a button press, if that helps. It won’t completely remove power but it will do a proper shutdown. If you add the following to your config.txt, momentarily grounding GPIO 3 (physical pin 5) will have Raspbian do a proper shutdown. dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown That same button w…

Please forgive in case I just overlooked the obvious. I am hoping to find an on/off button enabling a soft-shutdown including power cut at the end. If I got it right, the OnOff-Shim provides that. But, can I also use that Shim to have power cut in case I trigger the soft-shutdown remotely eg. in th…

I can’t say 100% but I would think it would still pull that GPIO pin low on shutdown and kill the power. If it does it via a dtoverlay like dtoverlay=gpio-poweroff it will for sure.

Nice, I’ll give that a try!
