I will share again when I details out the configuration. To give some roughly idea below are the list of thing I used to accomplish the task.
Habridge, node-red, broadlink RM mini and Home Assistant and Fibaro HC2 (optional)
Iâve been reading that many PS4 consoles will disconnect from wifi once theyâre in rest mode, and intermittently reconnect for updates etc. This seems to be more common in the PS4 Pro and even more specifically the Pro that came with the RDR2 bundle (thatâs the model I have). I read that itâs mostly an issue on a 5ghz network, but I donât want to switch to a 2.4ghz connection just to resolve this. Iâve tried all of the other troubleshooting steps I could find to resolve that issue, but as many others have found, thereâs no current resolution. As @khengsoon mentioned, using an ethernet cable should resolve the issue, Iâve just not had a chance to run a new cable from my network switch yet.
I do have PS4 Pro, and specifically the RDR2 bundle. Mine is on the wired ethernet network and not wifi, so itâs not your wifi. I think I am stuck to pressing the PS button on the controller 
Yeah mine is wired as well so itâs not that. I think maybe they just have a general disconnecting problem, regardless of how itâs connected.
I wired my PS4 yesterday and itâs status has been displayed consistently in HA since then. Prior to that, when on wifi, it would show âUnknownâ after being in Rest Mode for just a few minutes. So, I guess itâs not the end-all solution, but itâs worked for me so far!
But can you wake up your ps4 from rest mode using the app or from HA?
Yes it seems to. Iâm at work right now, but tapped the power button in HA for the PS4 and it went from âOffâ to 'Idle" then I waited a little bit and tapped the power button again and it went from âIdleâ back to âOffâ.
Hello,
Any ideas why latest hassio tries to pull armv7 instead of armhf ?
[hassio.docker.interface] Canât install vkorn/armv7-ps4waker:0.0.2 -> 404 Client Error: Not Found (âpull access denied for vkorn/armv7-ps4waker, repository does not exist or may require âdocker loginââ).

Hi,
Can someone point me towards some information on opening up the required ports for HA to use this on Hassbian? As per the component page:
The PlayStation 4 component requires the use of privileged ports to work correctly, specifically UDP port 987 and TCP port 997. Depending on your OS of your Home Assistant instance you may need to allow usage of privileged ports manually. Home Assistant installed on a Debian-type OS for example, such as Debian , Hassbian , Rassbian , and Armbian may require configuration.
and
Example for Debian:
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/python3.5Replace â/usr/bin/python3.5â with your path to Python that is running Home Assistant.
This is honestly gibberish to me.
Wrong topic
I have the same problem, have you found a solution?
Its possible to send shell_command from hassio panel to this docker and run ps4-waker? From inside doker (using docker exec) everything working well but when i try run command using shell_command service i get âcommand undefinedâ 
Iâm trying to be hard core but Iâm not there yet⌠So Iâm stuck at âcredentials neededâ, where do I enter them? Iâve read some older threads on this but canât figure out if the info valid anymore since the component is a part of the official release.
Thanks
Please help me out, i include my ps4 in Home Assistant. But when my ps4 is off i can´t wake them up. the entity is off and i can do nothing. I red the documentation and other forum post but i can´t find a solution.
Has anyone an idea ?
If your PS4 is off, it wonât respond because itâs off. This is by design.
Your PS4 needs to be in rest mode.

edit:
nvm, forked it and added the required keys until the pull request is merged into master, if anyone else wants this in the meanwhile though:
Iâm getting the following error, any thoughts? I went through the instructions twice with no luck.

Hi. I am looking for a nice view to start apps and games n the ps4. am able to do it with a button-card but i would like to get the app/game cover art as icon or graphics on the buttons. anyone have an idea on how to do it.
Like, you want a selection of images and tap one to start?
yes that is what i would like. i am able to do it âmanualyâ and download all pics i need but i was wondering if it was possible to do it a bit smarter.
