Native PlayStation 4 Component Discussion

Development

Hi all,

This integration is great and i have been using it with joy for some time.
Recently i changed my config and use docker-compose for HA amongst other.
Everything worked like a charm.
Today i did rebuild the container to the latest HA version. (the config folder is linked outside the container, preserving the config) using this command:

docker-compose up --force-recreate --build -d

and all of a sudden i get this message:

2020-02-27 12:51:50 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.ps4.media_player] PS4 could not be reached

Any ideas or help is much appreciated
thanks upfront,

br,
Raymond

I am attempting to get this setup and running, but I must be missing something. I have attempted to set it up on a Home Assistant instance running on a Proxmox VM. I have punched the appropriate holes in the firewall (TCP 997, UDP 987). I have also attempted to install it on a Home Assistant Core Docker instance (with appropriate net=host config). Neither works.

One thing I know I donā€™t understand is where am I supposed to ā€œRefresh Devicesā€ as referenced in the pic below?

I have installed the Second Screen app on an Android phone and an iPhone, and neither has a place to refresh devices and pulling down on the screen does nothing as well. I the Mobile App Connection Settings on the PS$, I can see where my 2 phones have connected, but clicking on Add Device only brings up another connection code.

What am I doing wrong? I know it has to be something stupid since it doesnā€™t appear from my search of the forum that others have run into this issue.

So for Android at least there is a button with 3 vertical dots at the top. And the refresh devices button should be there. Press this after you click on submit.

Hi iā€™m getting this wit latest home assistant : i managed to do the stuff using second screen app and see i the entry in mobile devices on ps4 but whenever i start my home assistant i get this error. Do note my home assistant is installed on windows 10 but iā€™m not sure itā€™s related

Hi, yes this is very much a windows issue. Iā€™ll look into this.

250

Did you receive any update on this? I am facing this messsage, too - after moving HA from one Docker host to a new one.

251

Oh yes, the problem solved itself at the first use of the ps4ā€¦ I did nothingā€¦

252

@Ktnrg45

Do you perhaps have any clue or could you perhaps give me a direction in where to start looking for a solution with my docker install problem.
I am really lost here and I would love to use your great integration.

Thanks upfront!

Br,

Iā€™m running latest version 0.107.7 and hassio on rpi. I donā€™t see anything in PS4 2nd screen app (i can control PS4 from app). Can you help me please?

EDIT: also one more thing, I canā€™t seem to have that refresh devices button in 2nd screen app, when I tap on three dots there is only help and settings buttons. there is no refresh button in none of those two either.

Thanks

Hello, I have read this entire discussion but I suppose due to my novice understanding of docker, I cannot seem to make sense of how to get this integration working on my setup. I have set up a virtual machine using VirtualBox and the Home Assistant VMDK. On the second screen app, I can see my PS4 and connect to it but when I click submit in home assistant I cannot see Home-Assistant come up in the app no matter how many times I refresh or force close and then open the app. Can anyone let me know how I can get this integration working or point me to the right direction? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

255

same issue here. anyone figured out how to show ā€˜standbyā€™ as off? otherwise Iā€™ll go and create my own template switch

256

Not really, if you got your template switch please mind sharing to us :smiley:

257

this is working great so far

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      ps4:
        friendly_name: "PS4"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('media_player.ps4', 'playing') or is_state('media_player.ps4', 'idle') }}"
        icon_template: 'mdi:sony-playstation'
        turn_on:
          service: media_player.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: media_player.ps4
        turn_off:
          service: media_player.turn_off
          data:
            entity_id: media_player.ps4

Hello,

Iā€™m having trouble with PS4 integration.

I run HA on Hass.IO on a Raspberry Pi 4 with the 32 bit image.

Do I need to do anything with port 987 and 997?

I have done everything by following the procedure with Second App Screen, put the ps4 pin in HA, everything seems fine.

An entity media_player.playstation_4 have been created. But it remain inactive and I canā€™t see any source and the HA on Second Screen App doesnā€™t connect.

Anybody have the same problem or knows how to solve it?

Thanks a lot,
Guillaume

Anyone have any suggestions as to why my PS4 will no longer enter rest-mode or turn-off using media_player.turn_off? It worked for the longest time and for the last few weeks it does nothing, no errors in logsā€¦ will turn debug on in the meantime and report back if it shows anything.

All fixed but Iā€™ll leave this here for the next person, I moved to a new systemā€¦ but it still turned on and showed the status so I assumed all was good, deleting the integration and home assistant from the second screen list on ps4, and re-adding is all good now.

262

Same error here. I was able to get it to stop by starting a game, and then closing it out. So apparently it is caused by the PS4 sitting idle. I have a hunch it will start generating an error when I restart HA and continue until I start a game again on the PS4.

Hi All,

I have been using the Playstation 4 integration quite successful in the past. However I made a change in my network: moved the Playstation to a different VLAN in my network than hassio. I have opened up all traffic (Unifi gear) from the Gaming VLAN to the LAN VLAN.

I am trying to reconfigure the companion app, which goes pretty well until the pincode

image

For some reason I am not able to provide a valid pincode now.

Any help is welcome.

264

Odd issue with this, I can send commands via services when Iā€™m on the main playstation menus, as soon as an app is open (Netflix, Disney+ etc) the commands no longer work? Iā€™ve tried this using the ps4.send_command and also via remote.send_command with remote.harmony_hub. Both sets of commands run fine until Iā€™m in an app.
Is there any known issues with this or can anyone point me at any suggestions??
Edit - the only command that works in app is ā€œpsā€ on both services
