Hello,
If I shutdown my Mark II, an red LED still remeins illuminated.
After some minutes, the cooler starts spinning.
Is this an Software or Hardware issue?
And how can I power it up again?
Running newest neon is on it.
Stefan
Question: Are you running it on the Neon OS image, or the Mycroft Dinkum image?

which was pre-installed on the USB-thump drive
there won’t be any other options, like pressing volume + - simultaneously?
I am lazy and put it on a kasa smart plug.
That way I can remotely power cycle it if needed.
Since it also measures the energy some additional information:
My MK2 with external USB SSD consumed an average of 7 watt over the last 30 days.

We would love for there to be, but don’t have the dev resources to make that happen right away. If a community member would like to build it, I do have the ability to incentivize that (and other) dev work with a new Mark II.
The best fix for now IMO is something similar to what @fromport did, putting an external switch on it. That could be a smart plug like they used,
or something purpose-built like this: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/12577006257074863057?rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1053US1053&q=power+cord+with+switch&biw=1790&bih=887&dpr=1&prds=eto:8961236120180038633_0,pid:18291707153910010027,rsk:PC_5125611644516236414&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBqKm7oK__AhVsPUQIHS26DUMQ8wII7w0
Or in a house with old wiring like mine, it might be nice to run it on a surge protected strip like this: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/13875187313153364740?rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1053US1053&q=power+cord+with+switch&biw=1790&bih=887&dpr=1&prds=eto:3166722704362849992_0,local:1,pid:8046787453675558275,prmr:2,rsk:PC_6036717178351702933&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBqKm7oK__AhVsPUQIHS26DUMQ8wII2xI
