PS5-MQTT: Control PlayStation 5 devices using MQTT

FunkeyFlo · November 9, 2022, 7:53pm

@QNimbus The addon was still using host names instead of ip addresses when checking for device state. I just changed this and a new edge version should be done in a bit.

Hi,
When I start the add on, it looks like it shuts itself down within 10-15 seconds. I get a 502: bad gateway notification when I open the web ui. Does anyone how to solve this?

This message means there is no MQTT broker service available. Install one of you haven’t done so already.

I got stuck when trying to run it on Docker. MQTT broker installed and configured.
Container seems to be running. Web UI discovers my PS5 and I can authenticate it. But then… Nothing happens. Nothing new under Devices in HA.

Some logs from container:

Thanks for any help.

Without docker config it’ll be hard to help.

Also; what version are you using? The https://m.np.playstation.net was changed quite a while back to https://m.np.playstation.com. Make sure you’re running the latest version.

arczowsky · November 22, 2022, 6:57pm

Actually, You helped a lot
I just copypasted image url for docker-compose from documentation page (version 1.1.0)
Changed to 1.2.2 and now it works perfectly.

Can you use this to control a remote with scripts? Like click this script and it will go left, left, left, select!

sammyke007 · November 28, 2022, 8:05pm

VERY important to use 2 different browsers / sessions for retrieving the NPSSO’s if your using multiple PS5’s!

Amazing little add-on, thanks for creating it!

I have to admit the configuration part was confusing due to me not being able to spot the configuration tab on the add on itself lol, was searching for configuration files etc using old manual and wasted some time, maybe you could make it more clear in the setup documentation.

BTW It’s pity Sony doesn’t publish the activity for multimedia like Netflix, was hoping to set up some automations based on that

FunkeyFlo · December 2, 2022, 1:01pm

Thanks! <3

I don’t quite follow, what “old manual” are you referring to?

Killa-V · December 9, 2022, 9:01pm

iv noticed sony keeps blocking my account password.
any one else experiencing this?
at leat once a week since using this my password is being asked to be reset.

arczowsky · December 10, 2022, 11:11am

Yeah. Same issue for me.

sammyke007 · December 10, 2022, 11:20am

Same here. Have to change password once a week now. Received a blocked warning this morning on my sons account.

Thorn · December 10, 2022, 12:59pm

I have the same issue … changed it about three time by now

I’ll try to change the update Intervalls … I’ll keep you posted

FunkeyFlo · December 10, 2022, 1:29pm

@Killa-V, @arczowsky I’ve only experienced it once since adding the feature a couple of months ago. Did you lower the recommended account_check_interval by any chance?

If the issues persists I’d recommended increasing the interval and see if this (at least) lowers the frequency of the password reset. If it does; try going higher with the interval until it completely removes the issue.

arczowsky · December 10, 2022, 3:38pm

I didn’t changed interval.
I will try to increase it tomorrow and we’ll see.

sammyke007 · December 10, 2022, 5:45pm

I’ve changed it to 15000ms (15 secs). As I’m tracking two accounts, It might be a reason of the blocking or is the API limit per account?

Theloneranger08 · December 13, 2022, 1:30am

I setup Mosquitto Broker and it’s running (created a new user for it to run too) and I also installed the addon on but when I click on “launch web UI”, it doesn’t show my Playstation 5. I don’t need to specify my username and password in the config if I’m just using remote play right?

sammyke007 · December 13, 2022, 9:20am

@Theloneranger08, what does your config look like?
Is MQTT Auto Discovery enabled?

Theloneranger08 · December 13, 2022, 2:15pm

@sammyke007 I have two wireless networks right now (going to call to have the other one disabled this week). One from the modem and one from the mesh system I have. My HA box couldn’t see my PS5 because the PS5 is hard wired (although not sure how that works with ethernet). I connected my PS5 to WIFI and now the MQTT server can see it. However, when I select the power toggle, nothing happens. For now I don’t need to see what’s playing but I’d like the ability to turn it on and off because my Harmony remote can’t do that. Here’s my config.

mqtt: {}
logger: "@ha:ps5:*"
device_check_interval: 5000
device_discovery_interval: 60000
account_check_interval: 5000
include_ps4_devices: true
psn_accounts: []
