Shutdown Host OS from UI

Hi,

is there a possibility to shutdown the host os from the ui?
This could be useful if you want to shutdown the pi to make a backup of the sd-card etc.

shell_command: sudo shutdown -h now ?

I tried it, does not work.

Why doesn’t it work?

It doesn’t do anything. (nothing showing up in the logs)
Did you try it with hass.io or with a normal hass installation?

I have not tried it at all. That was just my educated guess ^^ I’ll look into it after work and report back.

~Cheers

Any update to this?
I installed hass.io yesterday, and tried to power off the system when I wanted to move the Raspberry Pi 3 to another room, but couldn’t find a way (I also didn’t succeed through SSH). A shutdown option would be appreciated.

Came here looking for the same thing.

Surprised it isn’t already an option in Advanced settings alongside reboot?

I will add it soon to CLI

At the Moment use on ssh addon:
curl -X POST http://172.17.0.2/host/shutdown

Will there be an option for restart instead of just shutdown?

If you look at the CLI of Hassio you can shutdown the host by hassio host shutdown

I saw the options of “hassio host shutdown”, “hassio host restart” when using SSH, exactly what I was looking for.

Restart option is already in UI, looking forward to a shutdown option being added.

We can shutdown Raspberry Pi by going Hass.io>System>Host System>Shutdown.
Is there any YAML code that I can use to make a shortcut in Lovelace UI?

You can use the hassio.host_shutdown service to shutdown HA and host system in same time ! tested on my system and works fine :wink:

Yes, written a script and added in Lovelace for easy shutdown my Pi.

hass_turn_off:
  alias: Shutdown Home Assistant
  sequence:
  - service: hassio.host_shutdown
