Power button on pro box- can it be disabled?

[Peter]

There is a power button on the face of the pro box. Can it be disabled? Does it serve any purpose other than soft power cycle of the box?

a lot of users complaining about power button

 

easy fix to this issue

 

remove box cover 4 screws on bottom

take out the plastic power button

put cover back on, problem solved.

 

you can still push the power button but now you need to use stick or tweaker,

 

this removes accidental presses, but still allows it to be pressed, for what reason i don't know, but you still can is you want

We are working at a new domotz box that will have:

- 1U size (so that can fit in a rack - you know the current one is a bit too tall)

- no power button

 

These new models should come at some point in March

Hi ETI,

In US we are already delivering the new box. In Europe we are still delivering the previous model, but we will start soon shipping the new.
