My Raspberry Pi 2B is running Witty Pi 3 Mini, however I'm experiencing issues with the shutdown command. For some reason, the shutdown doesn't work even when the schedule is set.
schedule.log
--------------- 2025-01-30 07:26:31 ---------------
Schedule next shutdown at: 2025-01-30 07:35:00
Schedule next startup at: 2025-01-30 07:40:00
sh wittyPi.sh

>>> Current temperature: 35.75°C / 96.35°F
>>> Your system time is: Thu 30 Jan 2025 07:43:43 GMT
>>> Your RTC time is: Thu 30 Jan 2025 07:43:43 GMT
>>> Vout=5.01V, Iout=1.22A
Now you can:
1. Write system time to RTC
2. Write RTC time to system
3. Synchronize time
4. Schedule next shutdown [30 07:35:00]
5. Schedule next startup [30 07:40:00]
I've checked the clocks and they are synced but here is another thing: When witty pi is off and waits for the timer ("ON"), it constantly blinks red and white until it turns on (only white LED should blink, right?) - please check the attached video. However, witty pi is turned on by schedule and this works, but the scheduled "off" time doesn't work for some reason. Any ideas? Thank you.

What happened when the scheduled shutdowm time is due? Did it even try to shutdown, or nothing?
The blinking in video is something I've never saw. It is definitely not right. Witty Pi's firmware didn't define a blinking this fast.
I think you should check the power source first: is the power source still stably providing 5V to Witty Pi? You can use multimeter to monitor the 5V that actually apply to Witty Pi.

@admin thank you for your reply. Actually nothing happens, there is nothing in the logs. I tried several power sources, but the behavior is still the same. Can wittyPi 3 gets burned out for some reason? But in this case I would say nothing would work at all, but turning on works. I've also tried to re-install script, so far no luck.
Measured voltage is 5.07V (multimeter) and is constant for all different sources that I've tried.
