So Iām trying to get this working with two PS4ās on my network. Noticed that the docker image (the ps4-waker wrapper docker image) I have was updated today and now I canāt get anything running if I select commands. The ps4-waker seems to pull whatās going on with my ps4s so far but starting and stopping them Iām getting errors;

Any ideas?
OK,
further to the problem above. If I remove one of the PS4s from my setup, I am still getting the playing information from the one I removed. I am still unable to wake up or put in standby from HA interface. However, I can log onto the docker instance and run the ps4-waker manually and it works fine.
Another reportā¦seems the configuration has changed likely to get things in place for the official addition for this component. Flying a little blind with trial and error here. MIght start from scratch and see what happens. i get to the point where HASS restarts, logs show that there is no configuration for my PS4s so I try to configure them using the HASS interface. However, it never finds the PS4s.
So I did a reinstall from scratch, removed the PS4-waker from the PS4s and started all over again. This time I only added a single PS4. I see activity in HA (what games are being played etc) from my one system I added. But if the second system is on, I get the activity from it. It looks like the component is not using the IP address correctly when it queries whatās going on. Digging into what ps4-waker does, it looks like if you donāt include the device IP, itāll just find the first PS4 on your network. I canāt validate that 100% but it sure seems like thatās whatās going on.
Iām also stuck with the images not showing up, neither the small one or the main one.
Iām running on HASSIO 0.84.6.
In my config is:
- platform: ps4
host: !secret ps4_host
ps4_ip: !secret ps4_ip_address
name: PlayStation4
local_store: games
Iāve tried putting the image files in config/www/games/ as suggested and Iāve also tried config/games/
What am I missing?
EDIT: I updated the custom component to include some additional logging and it shows the filename as
ps4 file name, /local/games/CUSA00127.jpg
so Iām assuming /local is the problem?
@abdel.elbel That seems to have resolved my issues with images not showing up. Great work and thank you!

Maybe nit picking here because for me itās all working but I got this error in the logs (Could not detect any matching PS4 device)
and when starting or making the ps4 go to sleep via Google home it returns āsomething went wrongā but Itās all working.
Any idea where to start troubleshooting to solve this? Thanks!
Thank you for this. I was struggling to get this working before but your tutorial helped a lot.
Also the fact that home assistant as added the cloud management part has made integrating with google home even easier.
One question though, what is the importance of the (client type āiā) specifically the āiā. Mine showed an āaā and it worked fine but I did changed it to an āiā.
Also I do get an error from google home saying there was an error with the PlayStation 4 when waking it up but it still wakes up. The error in the logs for PS4 Bridge Say āLogin connect refused; retrying soonā
Everything works just more annoying and curious (perfectionism)
Thank You!!!
So excited for pyps4 and the new component!!!
Good morning. is anyone getting this error?
failed to send data using socket, timed out
08:37 deps/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyps4/ddp.py (ERROR)
Is there a new component? What am i missing?
Iām trying to use this component but i donāt know how to make it work, can someone kindly make a short guide? Thank you. Iām running hassio on ubuntu 18.04. I tried to search but I canāt find anything online
Iām following this guide, untill now i have set up everything, i get the ps4 media player on the home but it allways remain on off. On the ps4 i can see that ps4 Waker Bridge e is on the devices connected. And i get this in the Log of Hassio
The ps4 is connected via WiFi and hass.io is running on Ubuntu 18.04
Someone have the same issue?

heh thats awesome thanks!
Let me know if you get the image to work. I have put it aside after wasting what feels like 100hrs on trying to get it to work.
Take a look at this. But this use a html file to see what img put for each game, but it dosenāt have the last game in it and i donāt know how to update it. It work with ex. youtube and cod 4 but not with GoW.

So- two thingsā¦
-
ā¦I see that there was a PR to make this a default componentā¦ should I just wait until this happens before trying to add my PS4 to my HA?
-
ā¦if the answer to the above āshould I waitā is ānoā, would anyone care to link or write up a quick ādummies guideā for the installation and configurationā¦ the github instructions say āpip installā¦ā but thats where I get lost. As this is a working HA install Iām a bit hesitant to rely on my normal āgoogle itā method and do the whole āexperiment while I learnā gigā¦
There is a new PR awaiting review.
I already have the custom component installed, but for some reason it wonāt let me control my ps4 from time to time. But It still shows me my launched games.
Iām planning to move to HassOS from Hass.io on Raspbian, but I will do so only when the ps4 component is official.
So, to answer your first question, I would recommend you to wait for the official component. It doesnāt look like it will take long to include it to the official branch.
