I have auto RCM and would like to save the life of my power button.

I know there are some apps that reboot or soft power off the Switch. What I'm after is a software based way of fully powering off the Switch without the need to press any buttons or inserting a dongle. Does that exist?

The best I have so far is rebooting to payload and turning off via Hekate..

Powering off from the regular power menu will fully power off your Switch, if you use a recent release of Atmosphere.

Just be cautious to not slide your Switch into the dock afterwards. This will boot it up to RCM.

Is there a way to get to the regular power menu without pressing the power button (i.e., software based)?

I kinda Never understood auto Rcm when you can use sleep mode

@OP I guess you have to disable auto RCM the point of AutoRcm is to prevent powering off your console

The rcm mode has nothing to do with sleep mode. It only means that you don't need the jig anymore. And btw the console shuts fully down when you tap/click on "Power off" in HOS. This was a known issue earlier and has been already fixed. Since ams 0.8.4 iirc.

Yes I know but my personal experience I dont like using auto rcm I prefer to just leave it in sleep mode and just turn it off when I'm done using a jig only takes 10 secs to do
