I log into my Raspberry Pi remotely, and here is how I shut it down:

1. Execute the command:
   sudo shutdown -h now
2. Wait until the LEDs stop blinking on the Raspberry Pi.
3. Wait an additional fove seconds for good measure (optional).
4. Switch off the powerstrip that the Raspberry Pi power supply is plugged into.

Since I use a remote display, I don't necessarily see the final output of the Raspberry Pi in the command window, which is why I use the activity lights. The non-blinking state of the LEDs is not an absolute indication of a complete successful shutdown, but it has worked well enough for me.
