Can buttons turn off Redstone torches?
Redstone torches never burn out on their own, but you can turn them off by powering the blocks they’re placed on. If you provide redstone power to the block that the torch is attached to, the torch turns off and no longer functions.
How do you turn off a piston on a pressure plate?
Activate a piston(s) with a redstone torch. Then run redstone from your plate or wire the the block your torch is on. Upon the plates activation, it’ll send a signal to the torches block and cause it (the torch) to deactivate.
What happens when you step off the pressure plate?
When you step off the pressure plate, the first block no longer powers the redstone line, but all the next blocks still do; the first repeater turns off after some time and the 2nd block is not powered anymore… but the line is powered until the last block loses power.

Is it possible to hide a pressure plate?
Its also possible to make a pressure plate completely hidden, for example, stone pressure plates can be nicely hidden in a hallway that goes down, the following image demonstrates this: Did you see the pressure plate at the end of the stair?
Can you put a pressure plate on TNT?
Pressure plates may no longer be placed on leaf blocks or TNT. Pressure plates placed on such blocks prior to this update drop when disturbed (whether by stepping on them or by placing/breaking adjacent blocks) and may be recollected, though they can still ignite TNT.
