its easy. Connect it normal

then this in printer.cfg . You must change the pin because my is for robin nano v3


########################################
# PWC Module
########################################
[output_pin PW_OFF]
# Define output pin to power supply off
pin: PB2
value: 1 # Maintain power supply on

and this too or in a extra macro cfg


#######################################
# PWC Module
########################################

[gcode_macro M80]
description: Shutdown 12V power supply
gcode:
  SET_PIN PIN=PW_OFF VALUE=0

it appears on Dashbard a button PW OFF to manual shut it down.

M80 in the End of the printfile shut down automatic the system

what about power button on/off detection?

Button install like normal Power on over Button works without a Problem. Power off not but here you can use the button on the web interface (main window under fans &co )or the button on the displayinterface for manual shut down (lower left corner)
