ShutdownSwitch.py

"""Provides a switch accessory that executes sudo shutdown -h.

This allows you to halt a Raspberry Pi and then plug it off safely.

NOTE: For this to work, you need to allow passwordless /sbin/shutdown to
whichever user is running HAP-python. For example, you can do:
$ sudo visudo
$ # add the line "hap-user ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown"
