Please make sure to proper connect your switches.
Just tested the plugin on a rpi5, with 1 button.
Connected the switch between pin GND and GPIO 26. (didn’t test GPIO 17 as this is already used on my system for a rotary encoder)
I guess connecting one lead to 3.3V is not advised.
Hi Wheaton,
Thanks for your reply. Does this work on your install?
No luck with mine, still no response from the player. I have tried closed to ground, pull down and pull up, on several inputs, several functions and multiple reboots, nothing works.
It’s as if the plugin isn’t communicating to the Pi yet it’s installed correctly.
Thanks
MarkZ
Disable the GPIO button plugin.
What is the output of:
gpiomon gpiochip0 17
In my example, on a button press:
gpiomon gpiochip0 5 26
event: FALLING EDGE offset: 26 timestamp: [ 1054.652320940]
event: RISING EDGE offset: 26 timestamp: [ 1054.759454654]
event: FALLING EDGE offset: 5 timestamp: [ 1056.573904362]
event: RISING EDGE offset: 5 timestamp: [ 1056.704149232]
It’s 0V
Please follow instructions, 0V is not a result from this?
I think I have misunderstood, I’m not familiar with gpiomon, I’ll look it up
Disable the GPIO Button plugin
Just open a ssh connection and copy/paste my command.
gpiomon gpiochip0 17
If this command spits out data without pressing a button, GPIO 17 is already occupied by something else.
if this is the case, also provide the output of:
gpioinfo gpiochip0
Sorry I’ll have to get back to you, for some unknown reason I keep getting a permission denied error with SSH irritatingly I’ve tried three different computers and they all fail, let me sort this out…
Thanks normally I have no trouble with SSH except for my Macs security and having to update the known hosts file.
I’d been using SSH on other projects and my pi imager was attempting to save my details.
Volumio credentials on SSH definitely work better. Connection restored.
I am getting a
-bash: gpiomon: command not found
when I try gpiomon gpiochip0 17 from the command line prompt
run:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -yf gpiod libgpiod-dev
Thank you, that installed okay and when I run gpiomon gpiochip0 17 I get no output shown.
volumio@volumio:~$ gpiomon gpiochip0 17
and when you press the button?
and the output of
gpioinfo gpiochip0
A single press of the switch gives multiple events
event: RISING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852491924]
event: RISING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852538221]
event: FALLING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852661148]
event: FALLING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852711389]
event: RISING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852717908]
event: FALLING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852723352]
event: FALLING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852728037]
event: RISING EDGE offset: 17 timestamp: [ 4301.852984688]
this is with the 10K pull down to ground

This means that everything act as expected.
Summary:
- You did a clean install on your rPi5
- You only installed GPIO Button
- Key press is properly identified
- GPIO setting for 17 is OK
- As soon as you enable GPIO Buttons, with Play on GPIO17, nothing happens.
I’ve tested the same on my rPi5 and it works.
@Darmur
Dario, any suggestion, did I miss a step?
@MarkZ
Can you enable GPIO Buttons, and enable PLAY on GPIO17.
When finished run again:
gpioinfo gpiochip0
Summary:
- You did a clean install on your rPi5 - Yes using the latest image from Volunio
- You only installed GPIO Button - Yes
- Key press is properly identified
- GPIO setting for 17 is OK
- As soon as you enable GPIO Buttons, with Play on GPIO17, nothing happens. -Yes
This is my input circuitry:
I have another M.2 drive with a ‘main’ installation of Volumio including peppy meter, rotary encoder and GPIO control, everything works perfectly other than GPIO buttons. I can only think its a problem with my Pi5 - it was one of the very first available, not sure if RPI updated anything since then.
With GPIO buttons enabled:

Mute appeared on GPIO 22 ?
Not sure, I received one from the first batch, which I return in a week due to issues (didn’t like to get powered on). But if there was a random problem, more people would have complained here.
Try to move the wire from GPIO17 to GPIO5 or 6 and see if that makes a difference.
If not lets see if Dario has a suggestion, as I am running out of them.
Yes I’ve never had any issues with any of the pi’s I’ve bought to date, amazing value for money for most projects.
With switch moved to GPIO 5, plugin enabled and play set to gpio5
