As in title, how do I shut down? I'm having to literally pull the plug on my pi.

Slightly important component arrived today. Exactly 10 days as promised lol.
Are those some sort of piggyback power?
So connect both the power lines up?

For these kind of strips you need to run SPI controller on PIN 19 and 23
Many thanks! Liked your video of your setup.
You lost me here as a noob lol. Do you mean in hyperion choose APA102? These LED's are listed as APA102 yes.
I've just installed 'lite' and HyperHDR to play with.. I've never seen the software "in person" so to speak so I'm about to start that journey waiting for the damn LED's lol. I inserted a pic of the listing at the bottom of my OP.
Many thanks again! Still confused on fuses TO the psu for (a) All my LED's in one strip with say two additional injector points - fuse all separate, or (b).. combine all power from strips including injection points into one fuse- LOST as to fuse needed 15A?. -
So here's my kit so far, I'm waiting on the LED's any day now from ali on 10 day delivery from BTF.
SK9822 5m 60 IP30 https://www.aliexpress.com/ite…042311.0.0.3da64c4dDn5eC2
RASPI 3 - This had it's micro USB POWER socket snapped off, and has been working fine over a year, but soldered to board lost it's protection, blade fuse??
S-100-5 PSU 240V>5V DC 20A 100W Meanwell STYLE of cage but unbranded. Tested at 5.1v, there is an adjuster.
4K Passthrough Looper- I bought two identical units (outside identical) one being half price of the other! totally different boards. Will attach pic.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08JHPH869?tag=hyperioforum-21&ie=UTF8&psc=1 - £25 - 40, yet identical outside.Blade fuse holder 6 way. 3 & 5A fuses suggested to me, but that user was using four separate strips not connected at corners.

So here's where I'm at. Wiring & blades.
1. The pi3 will be powered from the PSU, should I place a blade fuse on this of say 3amp, as it's hard-wired to the board as the USB snapped off. Worked fine on 3d printer over a year on a USB lead hacked off and soldered. I do have a zero W, but it's very busy with klipper on my printer and I daren't mess with that lol.2. I'd like to solder the corners rather than fold over, but I'm happy for someone to bring me a benefit over competent soldering.
3. Most important, I'm confused on the gauge of wire, and where to place. The only user I've had a chat with was blade fusing four strips to the psu.
-I don't mind injecting power to 2 or 3 points or all corners as I've seen, but what fuse would I use for these? All same as it's a soldered 3.8m~ strip (55" Tv) ?
Every chart and calc I'm coming out with at a rough guess of 230 of the 60/m sk9822's comes out with 12guage-16 gauge. Is 12 gauge not a nightmare to solder on a strip??
-While I'm here, I see pin 18 used for most, but 9822's have a CLOCK wire, is there a common pin used for that before my Pi goes >poof!<
4. Is there any way to shut this down/smart plug for the PSU usage anyone has with success? I'm on hubitat also, if that matters.
-I'm sure most smart plugs (I have wifi and zigbee) can only handle 10A? Is there a high-amp sonoff etc?
I really appreciate anyone taking time to read this and any response to ANY points. All the gear, no idea. I can handle all the software problems it may throw at me, but safety is an obvious priority with kids about and I work away a lot. All connections will be insulated/hot glued etc.Many thanks!
