Raspberry Pi: Why No Power Button? And Simple Solutions!

So anybody who has used a Raspberry Pi knows that it lacks a power button. There are some reasons as to why it doesn't have one, but for many who want to use the Pi for entertainment, like Kodi or Retropie, see it as a big inconvenience. Today we are going to go over the possible reasons the Pi doesn't have a Power Button and also come up with some solutions that don't involve programing, as I know most people don't even want to attempt that.

To those of you who are waiting for my video covering overclocking on the device, the script is mostly done. I just need to cover my opinion of the emulation we will be covering and add some extra bits on the N64. Then I will start recording everything I need for it. I promise it won't take 6 months for this next one.

Notes:

TuyaSmart is the brand name for the solution I currently use. There are multiple versions of the device and I figured I would tell you the one I was using.

I use Amazon as my primary source of online shopping so I only use picture from there. Sometimes Amazon ads can run on here so I wanted to put that out there for transparency sake.
