Auto Shutdown

Mon Sep 30, 2013 2:04 am

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.
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.

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.
