My solution is to simulate a button press when power comes on with hardware using a 555 timer IC. This works for me, it may work for you, but use it at your own risk. wink The circuit operates by sensing voltage on the power source and uses a mosfet to simulate a quick press on the button. Since the ‘short press’ has no effect when the system is already on, power can be applied/removed in cases where the normal saf… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.sixfab.com/t/power-on-after-shutdown/885)._
