Is there a way to power off via intent or shortcut?

[Nonhocapito]

On my device, MD cannot power off the device normally via action, only through the "alternate" power off.

I understand, however, that this is the "forced" kind of power off. Since I run this action every day, I feel it may be bad for the device to be continuously forced powered off.

I tried using android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN but I don't think it's supposed to work either (or maybe I didn't set it up correctly, since I don't know what to put in the class or package names - or it's just for triggers).

Is there any way for me to invoke the regular power off?

On Android 10.

Thanks!

Only with root.

android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN is to tell the device is shutting down, not to shut it down.

Thank you for your answer. I do have root. Could you elaborate on how I could achieve what I want?

There's a shutdown action in MacroDroid. You just need to enable root in MacroDroid's settings.

As I stated in my first post, that action does not work on my phone. Only the "alternate" kind, which is the forced poweroff. I have root enabled in macrodroid settings if that's what you're referring to.

If screen is off turn screen on.
Android shortcut > power ptions.
Wait 1 second.
UI interaction > click "Power off".

You might also want to click in the middle of screen.

Why?

Why?

When I click on shutdown it's not aone button, the button moves to the middle and you have to press it again to shutdown. Same with reboot.

This actually seems to me to be a an ignorant reply to your question but I've read all the others and no one has mentioned it so here it goes. If you have root then use the shell script action and simply type "reboot -p" without the quotes of course. Be sure to tick rooted. Then use whatever trigger you want to run the action.

Actually when I think of it I can assure you that if you have root access this will definitely solve your problem. If Macrodroid can't do it, use any other app that'll run a shell script then use the shortcut action and run it from Macrodroid. This is a basic Linux command and in no way is it harmful to your device.

The alternative is no better or worse than the standard mechanism, you shouldn't feel bad about using it.
