PS5-MQTT: Control PlayStation 5 devices using MQTT

[Maximo (Garry McCandless)]

Hi All,

I’m currently migrating my Smart Home onto HA and slowly getting the various Integrations configured and working. However I’m struggling to get this working.

Using the default configuration I can start to Add-on but as soon as I open the web ui, I get “The add-on is not running. Do you want to Start it now?” When I click on START ADD-ON, I get another message asking me retry. In addition in the back ground I have the message “502: Bad Gateway”

Can anyone assist me with getting this working?

Thanks,

Garry

Hi,

I am strugling with the authentication. Every time I try to authenticate through the web ui, I receive the same message: “the connection to the server timed out” I tried through different pcs, browsers and even an android phone. Always the same message. Is the url broken? Is there any way of getting to the redirected URL (some workaround)?

Thanks for your help

Thank you! I am very happy with the result.

Hi,

Since some time this error appears on and on again and add on stops reporting the playing states:

I know, that in some posts before it is said, that this will recover but it does not! I must restart the add on and than everything works again. I haven’t change a thing in my setting so what is wrong? Can anyone help?

thx,
Zavjah

Awesome add-on. A bit of work to set-up, but in the end it looks great: [PS5HA] I’m using media player template as custom component for this with the following in my configuration.yaml: media_player: - platform: media_player_template media_players: playstation_5: device_class: tv unique_id: media_player.playstation_5 friendly_name: "PS5" media_image_url_template: > {% if states('sensor.ps5_activity') == "playing" %} {{ state_at…

I’ve been fighting with the same issue for some time. What helped me:

1. Incognito window
2. In one tab - log in to store first. If an error remains on this step - don’t close this tab, give it some time & retry.
3. After logging into the store, follow the redirect link from the add-on pop-up in the same incognito window.

Is it also possible to read which color LED is on the PS5 controller?

[mikkel328a]

I’m experiencing some problems with the sensor - after the last update on the ps5 it didn’t want to show when it was in a game - it only says idle or awake

[MandM78 (Greg)]

I have the same problem… tried to re-auth and still nothing…

[someevil]

I too am unable to reauthenicate.

Good to know, I’ll try and get an update out somewhere this week! For future cases: feel free to create a GitHub issue for any bugs!

Hi there,

I’ve set up PS5-MQTT with Home Assistant and most things are working great. However, I’ve noticed that the game title and game image are not being displayed, even though I’ve followed all the setup steps carefully. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. Adjusted my PlayStation Network profile’s privacy settings to make game activity visible.
2. Retrieved a valid NPSSO token and configured it in secrets.yaml.
3. Authorized the integration using Remote Play with my PS5 (successfully connected and authenticated).
4. Verified that MQTT messages are being sent and received (other device states like power status are working perfectly).

Despite all this, the game title and game image just don’t show up in Home Assistant.

Hi FunkeyFlo,

Thank you for all of your hard work to make this happen. I just purchased a PS5 Pro, and followed your instructions. I am now able to turn the PS5 Pro on and off using HomeAssistant!

However, when I turn it on, the PS5 Pro controller does not turn on, which means the PS5 Pro is not able to complete its process. It never turns on the TV (Sony XR-77A80L).

Instead, I have to press the PlayStation button on the controller. Then the TV immediately comes on.

I made an automation to turn the TV on 5 seconds after the PS5 Pro is turned on, but it would be nice to have the controller turned on, so this happens automatically.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some other setting I need to configure?

Thanks in advance!

[ciddi89 (Christian)]

As far as I know, it is generally not possible to switch on the controller remotely.
