Select "MattHuisman.nz Repository".
Select "Program add-ons" then "GPIO Monitor"
Select "Install" and the add-on will download and install.
The first time you run the add-on, you will need to install the service and then reboot.
Setup
After the reboot, you can now setup your buttons.
The add-on uses BCM board pin numbering (GPIO2 to GPIO26)
Click Add Button and then select the GPIO (BCM) Pin number.
Once the button is added, you can select it to edit it.
Follow the same process for any additional buttons.
The service status will be shown next to the button so you can easily see any errors.
eg. Below I have set Pull-up to False on GPIO3 which has an built-in physical pull-up.
Functions
The available KODI built-in functions can be found HERE.
Multiple functions can be separated with a | (pipe).
They will run one after each other in order.
eg. Action(Up)|Action(Up)|Reboot.
This will move up twice and then reboot.
Below are some commonly used functions.

Here is a circuit diagram and add-on setup for a basic Reboot GPIO button.
It uses GPIO17 with a button that pulls the pin low (GND).
