# Setting Power Button and LED with Device Tree Overlays
* Power On: short pin 5 and GND
* Power Off:
In `/boot/config.txt`
```bash=
# use gpio to shutdown
dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown,gpio_pin=26,active_low=1,gpio_pull=up # shutdown button on gpio pin 26 (physical pin 37)
```
* Power LED:
In `/boot/config.txt`
```bash=
# use gpio to display PWR LED
enable_uart=1 # PWR LED on gpio pin 14 (physical pin 8)
```
* Act LED:
In `/boot/config.txt`
```bash=
dtoverlay=act-led,gpio=16 # ACT LED on gpio pin 14 (physical pin 8)
# dtoverlay=act-led,gpio=16,active_low=on # inverse on/off
```
