dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown not working (Raspberry Pi)

Hi,

When I add the following line :

dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown

to config.txt in Raspbian (tested with Stretch), I can shut down by using a button to short GPIO pin 5 and 6 (GPIO 3 and GND)

The same does not work in LibreELEC 8.2.4 on Raspberry Pi, although the gpio-shutdown.dtbo exists there in the overlays folder, too.

What would I have to configure to make this work ?

Digging a bit I found that some power switch rules for gpio-keys are already present :

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/70-power-switch.rules

Code

ACTION=="remove", GOTO="power_switch_end"

SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEMS=="acpi", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", KERNELS=="thinkpad_acpi", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="twl4030_pwrbutton", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="tps65217_pwr_but", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="* WMI hotkeys", TAG+="power-switch"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", \
  SUBSYSTEMS=="platform", DRIVERS=="gpio-keys", ATTRS{keys}=="*,116|116,*|116|*,116,*", TAG+="power-switch"

LABEL="power_switch_end"

yet, it is not working

This is on a new install of LibreELEC 8.2.4 from scratch, maybe someone could point me to what I am missing...

This thread is a bit old, but maybe you come back and this will help you: gpio-shutdown alternative for LibreElec 8.2.5
