Button ON OFF for Volumio

Hello !
I may be reopening a topic already discussed but not having found an answer to my problem I allow myself to post.
Context, I’m creating a volumio cabinet based on RPI and a Raspberry screen.
I now want to install an ON OFF button to turn volumio on and off cleanly.
Also, is there a card or any other equipment to add to an RPI, the 3B in this case coupled with a DAC?
The idea is to turn on my tablet from the RPI and turn it off cleanly.

Thank you in advance.

There are power boards. prices range between 20-40 euro. You might consider a rPi5 2GB (50 Euro). There is already hardware power button on it and you can add your own push switch to it.
On top you gain a lot of CPU power.

Not stupid, I’ll do that! Do you know how to configure this button so that it turns off Volumio properly ?

Just add a switch here:

No configuration/settings needed.

ok and by adding the switch the OS will be closed properly?! perfect then, go the switch and thank you very much :+1:

Just pressing will turn the rPi5 off. When off pressing it it will boot the rPi5. Press and holding it will force a hard shutdown.

I did not know that Rpi5 had a shutdown hardware interface. Good to know thanks.
