dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown

Help and Support Help

Hi,
i’m trying to use the command
dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown

on boot/config.txt (latest Volumio version)

to be able to shutdown my Pi3 B+ (No DACs) using a momentary switch between GPIO3 and GND but i’m not able to do it.
shorting from shutdown, it will boot but shorting to shutdown doesn’t work.

what i don’t understand?

i also tried others GPIOs without any luck
dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown
dtparam=gpio_pin=12

or

dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown,gpio_pin=12

ok, tested on Raspbian and it works, so this doesn’t work on Volumio even if other users reported working.

Hi.
Why not use the plugin by Tomatpassa, which when installed will allow you to choose which pin you want to use to shut down.
Works perfectly for me.( I used gpio 26) I also use Gpio 3 for wake up (default I think)

yeah, at the end i will use the GPIO button plugin.

thanks
