I‘m not sure if it’s a good idea to start this discussion here and not in separate thread...
Do you have ensured that you has connected to the first HDMI 0 port? If yes, please check if the contacts at the plugs and the sockets looks good.
Did it work with LibreELEC 11.0.3 before or just an older version?
myshit,
You're welcome. Nice to read that it's working for you now.

I have reviewed the python scripts again. To be technical correct I should revise my posting (#28)
These things are only working if a service is running in the background to make cycling checks at PIN7 for new message from the microcontroller. The shutdown script is a hook during the LibreELEC OS shutdown: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/startup-shutdown
Hi Da Flex ,
I hope I can remind me right, because these information are 2 years old... 
There are at least 2-3 revisions of the Argon One case. The newer ones even have an infrared receiver on board. The power-on button is not directly connected to the Pi. In between is a circuit board with a microcontroller. This is responsible for switching off the power supply to the Raspberry after shutting down. The microcontroller recognizes the signal at the power-on button and can also trigger a RESET (different PIN on the Raspberry) by pressing the power-on button twice in quick succession. If you press this button longer than 3x seconds, the Raspberry will be shut down and the power will be switched off after a delay. It may be that this behavior depends on the firmware version of the microcontroller and could be different with the first batch of the casing.
If you shut down the Raspberry via OS, the microcontroller in the Argon One lacks the information that its allowed to cut the power supply. Therefore, after an orderly shutdown, the red LED at the front, behind the semi-transparent plastic cover, remains on. However, the microcontroller also knows a return channel via PIN on the UART interface. This PIN changes its logic level after shut down of the Pi and the microcontroller starts the process to cut the power of the Raspberry Pi. This has to be configured specifically on every OS and with every startup. It's part of the ArgonForty Device Configuration add-on, for example. Alternatively, there are some other scripts/daemons that do something similar.
Please be aware:
I'm not a developer of KODI Add-ons. This is only a result of someone who had the wish to get the add-on work again with LibreELEC 10 and later.
Provides a GUI and installs a service to manage Argon ONE case features including the power button, fan speed, and the Argon IR remote.
For full support of the power button commands with a RPi5, please use LE12 at least.
Important: The add-on download has been moved to GitHub: Download Please use the latest version of the add-on to ensure that the known bugs have been fixed.
For historical reasons only: If someone stays on LE10 and the last versions really don't work, they can try version v0.0.4. I have left the download of the outdated version as an attachment just for this case.
After the power button at remote control or the button (held for > 3 seconds, but < 5 seconds) on the back of the case was pressed, KODI including all OS processes only has ~10 seconds to shutdown properly! Once initiated, the 10 seconds power cut timeout can't be interrupted and is perhaps only with another case firmware correctable.To compensate that, the add-on has been repeatedly optimized to decrease the shutdown time to below 8 seconds. Depending whats currently installed and running in KODI it need sometimes longer, then the shutdown will not be graceful and data corruption is possible in the worst case.
This behaviour only occurs if you use the power button on the remote control or on the back of the case to switch off. If the KODI power menu is used to switch off, the power cut will triggered at the very end (+10 seconds).
There are some reports on the Argon40 forum that the fan control scripts they provide no longer work with the Argon ONE V1 cases since the new command set with register support was added for the Argon ONE V3 cases. I cannot verify this, and there is no feedback on whether this is really the case and switching off the register detection definitely helps. A compatibility mode was therefore added in version 1.1.9, which explicitly deactivates the detection of register support. If you are one of the early adopters with a V1 case (with micro HDMI outputs at the back of the case) and the fan control or the shutdown process already isn't working right:
Remote control power button pressed → 10 seconds timer starts -> shutdown is initiated → red LED turns off, but it seems that it doesn't respond to the power button on the remote to get it on again.
Please try in this situation (unsuccessful shutdown):
Additional I have switched from lircd to rc_maps/keymaps (thanks to adam.h. for providing the files). If you use a self made remote control profile for your remote control, please make a backup of your remote control configuration and/or place a lock file before installation to prevent overwriting:
touch /storage/.config/argon40_rc.lock
The original sources are from there: GitHub Argon40Tech and here: Installation package version 0.0.1
I have forked (26.10.2023) the Argon40 add-on repository and pushed my changes to this repository: GitHub Argon ONE Control
Search for "Argon ONE control" within the LibreELEC add-ons section below "Program add-ons" and install the add-on. All requirements will be downloaded and installed automatically. If you install this add-on the first time, a reboot is required afterwards to activate all interfaces like I2C, UART and IR.
Please have a look for more details at the linked documentation, especially if you have already an older version of the add-on in use.
The installation process will try to add 3 lines to the config.txt to enable the needed modules for I2C and UART. This part is not bullet proofed, because it looks only for the first line. It skips the needed modification if the line "dtparam=i2c=on" is already there.
A few things to do:
Within Add-ons list, the Argon ONE Control (fka: ArgonForty Device Configuration) add-on should be available now. There you can configure the fan settings and the shutdown should work properly now. Please be patient, it will take a few seconds for the LED to goes off.
Important: Recent versions are available at GitHub first, followed by publishing via LibreELEC add-ons repo: Download
myshit ,
You will need some additional scripts that are part of the Argon Pi addon. Since the add-on was no longer maintained after the initial commit on GitHub, I ported it myself to make it work with LibreElec 10+ two years ago. I haven't touched this since then, but it still works with LibreElec 11 and you can also configure the fan speed.
I'd have to look up the git repo and installation package. If my newly created user allows this at all, I could make it available here.
