Can I use the Pi5 hardware on/off button?

With Pifi, can I use the built in RP5 on/off button to safely power on and off the Pifi? I am unsure if this requires RaspPiOS.

Thank you.

Hi,

Ok so not yet at least - it can turn it on (if you shut down via app for example or force shutdown).

But it can’t yet gracefully shut it down in way that it can on Raspberry Pi OS - you can only tap and hold to force shut down which is, in effect, the same as pulling power

I actually think that is a missing feature that should be there though - so will add it on an upcoming build if possible (which I believe it is)
