Maybe you can help with this issues:

  1. When I turn on the PS with the command, The screen shows “Press the PS Button to use the controller”. Is there a way to bypass it?

  1. I have multiple users, some with password to log in to the account. Any solution how to start a game with a specific user (w/wo password)?

  2. Can I turn off PS from HA?

  1. If you wait a few seconds, Home Assistant will connect and the screen will go away.

  2. I have no experience with multi-users. My guess is to create an extra PS4 media player and add as device, since you need to pair it within a user account. Then use that PS4 media player for other users.

  3. Send the standard media player service call turn_off: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/media_player/ This will put PS4 in rest mode.

  1. Waited, but still see the same screen. Maybe it relates to Wifi connection? I will also try later with wire connection.

  1. From your reply it seems I need to pair the media player with an account, will check it.

  2. It doesn’t turn it off. Probably relates to issue #1

Thx for your help!!!

Too early to ask about a PS5 version? :smiley:

I think the python component is based on a package called ps4-wake, and they have started work on the ps5 version: https://github.com/iharosi/ps5-wake

This was mentioned in the other thread… you can use it as-is to at least turn it on/get status…
