While working on my Raspberry Pi DIY projects, I need a simple on/off switch which can turn on (obviously) and gracefully shutdown the Pi. Additionally I would also like to operate the switch with a remote control. After searching on the market, I found that either they are too pricey or lacking the simplicity and feature that I need.

The switch is both Smart and Hackable! Out of the box, the Pi Switch has the following features:

Single button on/off or Infrared remote operation
Support "Forced" off by long press the button
LED light to indicate power status
Blink twice when Switch receives power
Turn On when Pi is on
Blinking when waiting for PI to turn off
Turn Off when Pi is off
Use standard microUSB and USB female socket

While there are similar products on the market, I want to build a switch that

Have a single button for both on and off - Just like most of the consumer electronics
Operate wirelessly using infrared remote control
Is Hackable - You can reprogram the onboard MCU (Attiny85)! While it just work out of the box, it also gives the DIY-er flexibility like controlling the button press duration, reassign buttons and LED's behaviour. All codes and instructions are included.
