petediscrete But then to turn back ON when needed you will need to disable that service?
Why not you set up a small script depending on your needs of when you need your Rpi to be ON..
ex if you need your Rpi to be OFF let's say between 8:00 and 20:00 even if there was a powercut and the power came back in that time frame make an autostart script that starts with LibreElec..checks that the time is in your timeframe and turn Rpi back Off..(shutdown...power will still be ON - red light)
This will lead you to ask if you can then turn it back ON after 20:00 from same script which will not work unless adding hardware and complicating things...so there's really no reason of even switching it OFF unless this Rpi is on a remote island working on batteries..
RPi5 is designed to power-on when power is applied. The RP1 chip might evolve programmable power-button behaviour over time (there were pre-launch rumours in that direction) but I haven't see it mentioned anywhere since. On RPi4 boards I've seen small circuits combined with the gpio-poweroff overlay to detect a switch state (on/off) and if left in the off position the board boots when power is applied (as that can't be stopped) but gpio-poweroff triggers shutdown almost immediately once firmware loads and applies the overlay.
