Title: Shutdown button doesn't work
Post by: chevyman142000 on August 05, 2014, 02:17:19 pm

Seems that the shutdown button on the screen on the router does not do anything. I click it and finally after multiple clicks it will act like I hit it but doesn't do anything. I end up pulling the cord to shut it down.

EDIT: I haven't tested the reboot button yet, but will try and do that tonight to see if that is also not working.

Yeah, we're actually going to remove it for now as we're having some issues with it. The router sort of shut down, but not properly.
Reboot tends to work though, but it can be a bit flaky too. We're working in trying to figure out what's gone wrong, as it was working just fine in an older firmware build, but at the moment, this isn't a high priority.

Thanks for the reply Lars. I tested reboot and it seemed to work. Glad it isn't just me.  :)

Sorry about that, a few things are still not quite there, but we should have a new firmware update out today that will add a lot of new things and fix a lot of issues.

Even after new firmware R065 I still see this issue occurred on me, shutdown screen won't go after clicking on it, I had to pull the plug.

Yeah, we haven't fixed the shutdown yet. It's also a bit of a pointless feature, as we don't have a way to power the Almond+ back up again.

From the LCD screen I would disagree.  A controlled shutdown is much better than risking corrupting open files by just dropping power.  I think all you need is a message at the end of the shutdown process that says "The Almond+ is shutdown.  Remove and re-apply power to restart the Almond+".

Fair dues, well, I'll bring it up during our meeting tomorrow.

Would also like to consider Shutdown that does actually do a Power Off as well.

That was kind of the whole idea behind it, but I honestly don't know what went wrong.

Right, so the shutdown is a bit of hardware limitation, but we'll improve it, but it won't be perfect I'm afraid.
