Homebridge Playstation

Playstation integration for Homebridge / HOOBS.

Hey Siri, turn on Playstation finally possible!

This integration exposes a Switch service that can be used to switch on/off your PS4/PS5, and determine its current state.

Most of the work is done by the amazing playactor library, which this project depends on.

Installation

You can install it via Homebridge UI or manually using:

npm -g install homebridge-playstation

Configuration

• Turn on your PlayStation, go to "Settings" and enable "Remote Play".

• Run this command as homebridge user, make sure you don't run these commands as root or pi, otherwise nothing will work):

homebridge-playstation-login

You can do this by using the Homebridge UI terminal or an SSH session and manually changing user with su homebridge

• Open the authorization link provided, authenticate it using your PSN account, and copy the URL when the page shows "redirect" in the terminal.

• On your PlayStation go to "Settings" > "System" > "Remote Play" > "Link Device" and provide the PIN code.

• Restart the HomeBridge instance

• At boot, you should see a message like "Please add [PS5 XYZ] manually in Home app. Setup Code: 111-22-333" in the logs; open the Home app and add your PlayStation as an extra accessory using "Add Accessory" in the top-right menu

Troubleshooting

If at some point you have any problem, you can try to reset the Homebridge accessory and re-pair it.

To do so, go to Homebridge UI > "Settings" > "Unpair Bridges / Cameras / TVs / External Accessories" and delete the Playstation.

To reset the credentials used by PlayActor, you need to manually remove the directory /home/homebridge/.config/playactor

PS5 Connection works but always shows offline

Hello dude,

so the setup works so far, it also detects a new HomeKit Device and can be connected.#

Unfortunately it always shows me "Entity not available" so is shown as offline although the Playstation is running.

On the PS5 I get the message "Remote User connected" for a short time, then after a few seconds I get "User no longer connected".

Unfortunately I have no idea how this can be fixed

Any idea?

Merci

Here some logs from Homebridge:

Add an option to specify port or port range to use

As far as I can tell, playactor has a "bind-port" option, but it doesn't look like this plugin has any way of setting that up in the config to be passed through to the playactor library.

I'm using a firewall on my Raspberry Pi and because the plugin seems to use a completely random port, I've had to set it up to allow all ports coming from the PS5. It's not a big deal, but it would definitely be better to have the option of specifying a port to use instead.

Did not authenticate to any consoles.

Can't add the PS5 to homekit

Hi there

So did all the steps and rightly so the PS5 is shown as a device to add in HomeKit, but when I try to enter the code it tells me its wrong.

Im using Hoobs in a box :)

Has to be in Rest Mode?

Hello, does the PS5 have to stay in Rest Mode in order for this plugin to work or does this plugin turn the PS5 on even when it’s completely off? Thank you.

Multiple PlayStation ?

Hello,
How can I add multiple PlayStation devices.
I have a PS4 and a PS5 on the same network.
Following the instructions, my PS4 gets added automatically but not the PS5.
For information I already use PS4 waker platform plugin for my PS4 and playactor with Cmdswitch2 plugin for my PS5... but I got some malfunction now and then so I hoped to get a plugin to control both smoothly.
Also, when i log into playactor it didn't send me to Sony web page for login but I think it is because my credentials are already saved because of previous configuration...

Change device type

Hello !

I was trying to add my PS5 to HomeKit, i found the playactor guide and then your plugin. Great work !
Is it possible to change the device type of the switch created by the plugin ?

For example, with https://github.com/unknownskl/homebridge-smartglass, the Xbox shows as a "set-top-box" with a nice icon in Homebridge

Thx !

PS5 remote

I've noticed this plugin also adds the playstation as a selectable device to control in the control center remote

I can't get it to work though, am I missing something? Or is this not a supported feature?
If not, can it be added? Could be really nice as a media remote

Describe Your Problem:
Following the startup guide, I am getting stuck after running home bridge-playstation-login. After hitting Y to authenticate, terminal returns that there are no credentials for my PS4. logging in as root doesn't help either. I've seen 2 other issues similar to this (one of which was closed but did not have a documented resolution) so I'm logging this ticket for visibility.

Note, the closed issue did ask about a credentials file existing, following this direction, it appears this file does not exist for me, though it's unclear how to create one. Additional direction would be appreciated.

Cannot complete setup

Describe Your Problem:
I tried using the plugin and got the following errors after setup. I tried running the command 'homebridge-playstation-login' in the command prompt, but got the message shown in the screenshots. I tried installing the app on my phone, and my laptop but none could find this PlayActor being referenced. Then, after temporarily skipping this step, i used the homekit code to set it up in the app but then got the error codes described below.

multiple playstations dont appear in apple home

This is a great feature.
I had to deactivate the plugin because I have a PS4 and a PS5 and I used cmdswitch2 with Playactor instead but I prefer this plugin because the PlayStation appear as set top box.
I just reactivate the plugin and deactivate cmdswitch2 to test it.
It works really fine in homebridge as my two PlayStation are discovered in homebridge accessories, and I get two messages in log at homebridge reboot that ask to add manually in homebridge, one for the PS4 and one for the PS5. In homebridge, turning on/off the PS4/PS5 works smoothly.
The problem is that they are not discovered in Apple Home...

Did i missed a step?

I remember before it was compatible with multiple PlayStation the plugin showed one of my 2 PlayStations in Apple home and I could add it...

Trouble getting started

I am having trouble getting started with the plugin. I am on Windows 11, and when I run the homebridge-playstation-login command, I receive only the following error:

Unable to locate device: device (any)

My PS5 is powered on and is the only PlayStation device currently on my network. Any ideas? Thanks!

Settings menu

Instead of having to manually modify HomeBridge's settings file a setting menu would be great at least for the basics of setting up the first PS4.

Discover PS5 device over the specified interface

Describe Your Problem:

Similar with Homebridge issue #1957, I have this setup with TWO network interface. eth0 for WAN, IP 192.168.1.2 and eth1 for LAN, IP 192.168.66.1.

By default, Homebridge itself is working over the WAN interface which is usually NOT what we want so it provides a parameter mDNS (or the latest bind option) to speficy the interface that you want it to work on.

Unfortunately this plugin seems to have a similar issue that the discovery process (originally playactor browse) is working over the WAN interface and it does NOT work even I bind the Homebridge interface to the correct one (LAN in my case).

Plugin Config:

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "xx:xx:xx:xxx:xx:xx",
        "port": xxxxx,
        "pin": "xxx-xx-xxx",
        "advertiser": "avahi",
        "bind": [
            "br-lan"
        ]
    },
    "platforms": [
        {
            "pollInterval": 5000,
            "platform": "playstation"
        }
    ]

I wonder if it's possible providing such an option like what Homebridge does

Small tip. activate remote play.

Add to read me file that the first thing to do also is also active remote play.
I got errors like "403 forbidden", "other error", "setOn is locked". the issue was that I didn't notice that the remote play wasn't activated on my ps5

Never getting HomeKit Code

Describe Your Problem:
I believe I have set up the plug-in correctly; setting up the RemotePlay and enterying the pin. The logs state that it can find my PS5, but it never gives the message about Playstation 5 being discovered, but never gives the message about adding it manually to HomeKit with the Setup Code. I can go into Home App and see the Playstation as a device under "Add Excessory), but again I don't know the code.

Homebridge Log says Unable to Locate Device every two minutes

Describe The Bug:
When the PS5 is in sleep mode, I get this error every two minutes in the Homebridge log:
[6/28/2022, 4:25:29 PM] [playstation] Unable to locate device: with id [xxxxxxx] (blanked out for security)

This seems to have started since the PS5 turned off at the power point while in sleep mode (unintentionally).

It is also stopping the PS5 from being able to be turned on by Homebridge. I've tried removing and readding the plugin repeatedly with no luck. I think I need to be able to fully start the authentication process over, but each time I try that it remembers it from last time and never asks for the pin. How can I get this to forget the authentication so I can start over?

To Reproduce:
Unsure, but possibly shut down PS5 incorrectly?

Expected behavior:
This log to not appear

Plugin without response :

Great plugin that allows you to see if a console is in rest mode or in use. Unfortunately, if it is completely off, this creates an error (without response) in Homekit. It would have been really great if the Ping does not respond the plugin interprets that as console off. I hope to see this improvement in a future update!

EACCES: permission denied when entering Link code

Hello,

I've just got my PS5 set up and would like to add it to Homebridge/Home. I've followed your install guide and I'm getting to the final step and typing in the link code, but I'm running into the error below:

EACCES: permission denied
Did not authenticate to any consoles.

I've tried multiple times but I'm still running into the same problem. I noticed above you said to run this as a user, not as root. Could that be something I'm doing wrong? I've never run into this issue before and I'm not even sure how to run this 'as a user', if I'm not already!

I've already got the PS5 into the Home app, but it doesn't turn on/off when clicked, with the log saying:

Device PS5-981 must be awake for initial registration

I assume that's because it's not fully linked for remote play. Remote play is enabled though.

Thanks for your help,
Ste.

Unable to request credentials error

it shows the status of my ps5 being on or off but whenever i try to use homekit to turn it on or off it just says "Unable to request credentials"

I am very new to this and have no clue whats wrong but if I had to guess its something with playactor I don't have terminal access on homebridge on windows and I'm not sure I installed it in the correct place

Turning off ps5 crashes hb

Plugin crashes homebridge instanace when I’m putting PlayStation to sleep.

Accessory Doesn't Appear When Trying to Add

Describe Your Problem:
I installed the previous version of this Plugin. When I was receiving connection errors as noted in a previous issue, I removed the plugin from Homebridge. I also remove the Bridge and Accessory from my Home app. With you latest update, I have now reinstalled the Plugin. I can get the Bridge added to the Home app, but the PS accessory does not show up in the list of available devices.
