FAQ

The log is showing 403 errors when I try to turn my ps5 on or off!

Double check that you've enabled all required remote play features as described in the remote play documentation.

Can devices be powered on/off from/to other modes than rest mode?

No. The underlying remote play protocol from sony does not support this.

Why does this add-on only support Awake/Standby on Playstation 4?

There already is a great Home Assistant integration that supports more functionality for PS4 devices like starting games. However, users have reported that this add-on detects Awake/Standby changes faster than the existing integration. So if you want you can use this add-on next to the existing integration or instead of it, if you are only interested in Standby/Awake.
