Does anyone know of a way to have the pi shut itself off completely? I can handle to auto boot, I jus need it to shut down (without pulling the plug)

you could have a script monitor a button on the gpio, but I just pull the plug.

Not without adding external circuitry such as a relay.
The RPi is much like any modern PC..... the 5V standby circuits in the power supply and motherboard remain powered even when the computer is shutdown.

I connected mine to powered USB hub. By switching off the hub, I shut off the Pi. After I did a "sudo halt", of course.

Kind of depends what you mean. You can schedule tasks (such as a shutdown) with cron or at.

But it'll still be powered.
