EACCES: permission denied when entering Link code about homebridge-playstation

[sterumbelow]

I could see there was a node issue in the log (next to Playstation). That is now updated and the node issue has gone, but I'm still unable to use the link code to fully add the device.

Any help appreciated! :)

Hello everybody,

I also have the same problem: when I enter the activation code I get the error "EACCES: permission denied".
How can this be solved?

Thank you

Same here, followed every step of the instructions and just got this message:
EACCES: permission denied, mdir '/ home /homebridge/.config/playactor' Discovering next device... Did not authenticate to any consoles.

I have finally fixed the issue!

Here's what I did:

So, first thing to know is it doesn't work because you don't have permission for it to write to the config file. Weirdly, my Homebridge terminal said 'admin' was an unknown user, even though that's the username.

If you type 'whoami' you'll see your username is actually 'pi'.

With that in mind, you need to be sure the config file is owned by 'pi'.

Type

ls -la/home/pi

On the config line, you'll likely see root root. We need to make that say pi.

Type

sudo chown -R pi /home/pi

Then type

sudo chown -R pi /home/pi/.config

If you check the permissions again using 'ls -la /home/pi' you'll see it has changed.

Now authenticate your PS5 again and it'll work!

Head over to your Home app, add accessory and enter your code. Voila! Remember this only works for rest mode on/odd. If you fully turn it off, it won't work.
