Got the same error.

Did anyone have a solution?

fitsou · March 4, 2024, 2:48pm

Unfortunately not.

Syrif · March 12, 2024, 4:23am

Is this still the case a(lmost) year later?

Bastian007 · March 12, 2024, 3:39pm

Did anybody change activated Keypass for PSN? Is the Addon still working as before?
Actually I don’t see a direct relationship, but wanna make sure there is no side effect before deactivating PW.

Needed to redo the NPSSO then it worked again

Thomas01 · March 13, 2024, 8:07am

My experience as a user of the add-on:
Works fine (once i jumped through all the hoops of set-up), until I login into playstation.com from my webbrowser and playstation.com again asks me for my login (from the same computer and webbrowser that I just finished my setup for PS5-MQTT just a couple of minutes ago), then PS5-MQTT stops working again.

I assume with my new login at playstation.com, the NPSSO key that PS5-MQTT uses gets invalidaded by the website login.
So I refrain from loging into playstation.com, and everything works fine from now on.

Also (which I only realized earlier): If you change the configuration of PS5-MQTT (for example pasting a new NPSSO key into the PS5-MQTT configuration), you have to restart the PS5-MQTT Add-on, not Home Assistant.
D’Oh, took me a long time figuring that out.

This applies to all add-ons

Thomas01 · March 13, 2024, 2:49pm

Of course, PS5-MQTT was just the first add-on I discovered this.

At around the same time it dawned on me (ie. I read it somewhere and understood it) that add-ons are not HA “plugins”, they are separate programs that run in their own docker (docker-like?) container and communicate with HA. With this understanding a couple of things that baffled me before suddenly makes sense (among those that you need to restart the add-on, as restarting HA does not do anything to the programs running in their own container).

I’m not exactly an experienced HA user.

Hello,
Recently, the PS5-MQTT stopped working. I’m not sure if it’s because Sony implemented the Passkey or because I added a second account to the Docker stack.
In any case, this is the stack I’m running (I’ve hidden the security details) and I’m also sending the Logs

Completely out of topic, but can you please tell me what car you are using to display your internet speed?

fitsou · March 29, 2024, 12:28pm

@FunkeyFlo did by any change had the time to look at my logs?

FunkeyFlo · March 29, 2024, 8:05pm

Formatting error due to a missing ] at the end.

majoracehole · April 15, 2024, 8:54pm

I’d love to know if there is any trick you used to make this work - I am a complete docker and unraid noob and trying to move across from my old HA system

I’ve tried to set up the docker in a few different ways before coming across your template (which is much more elegant than what I have been doing!) but whatever I do it always comes back to this error -

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: “/config/run.sh”: permission denied: unknown.

I’ve tried different owners/permissions on run.sh but nothing seems to change… Did you get anything like this at all?

th3jesta · April 19, 2024, 3:26pm

Installed in Supervised HA.
I couldn’t get the web-ui to load until I opened the port that the log announced the add-on is listening on (looks like everyone has their own unique port?), and then I couldn’t get it to recognize the PS5 until I completely disabled UFW. I tried opening 8645, 64977 (the port reported in the log), and 977 and 9302 (both reported by the web-ui when it discovered the PS5 while UFW was disabled). If I’m understanding this GitHub issue correctly, does this mean that this add-on will only work if I disable my firewall on the host machine? I have no VLANs in my network, if that matters.

Turns out I only needed to have the firewall disabled to initially discover and set up the connection and authentication. Once I did that, I tried re-enabling the firewall and the I can still control the PS5. Weird.

How can I remove my PS5 completely from HA so I can configure it?

cr1g · May 7, 2024, 10:24am

Does the PS5 need an Ethernet connection in order for the Power switch to work? I have it currently connected over WiFi but the switch does not seem to work at all. The activity does not have any issues.

Neil_Brownlee · May 7, 2024, 1:43pm

It can only switch it on from rest mode - not a full power down.

StickmaN · May 7, 2024, 2:40pm

Hi FunkeyFlo, nice add-on!

Almost everything works for me, except that there is no sensors, switch etc.

If I search for PS5, only appear the Update of the add-on itself.
Nothing from my device name or “playstation”

What I’ve missed?

Thx

cr1g · May 7, 2024, 3:31pm

That’s right. I know that, it doesn’t work on rest mode either. That’s why I was asking if there’s any additional configuration that has to be done on my side.
