PS5, RTX3000 inventory checker add-on

There are a few docker containers already setup for looking for stock for frequently out-of-stock items like PS5 and newer graphics cards (https://github.com/EricJMarti/inventory-hunter). I’ve tried converting to an add-on with no luck, but perhaps someone with more skill could do so.

Just getting it running would be the first step
Perhaps we can add events or sensors if stock is available (but that would require additional logic)

I actually had a command line sensor going for PS5 Direct stock for a while, it worked pretty well.

Hopefully you were able to get one :grin:

Would you mind sharing your sensor config?

Oh sure! I don’t know why I didn’t think to share it before. In your configurations.yaml:

  - platform: command_line
    command: curl -L --silent direct.playstation.com | grep "Java\|logo.svg" | tail -c 255
    scan_interval: 30

If they’ve updated the website since I did this, you’ll have to update the parameters of the grep command. It basically just checks for the presence of the queueing page. Here’s the automation:

alias: PS5 Notify
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.command_sensor
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_myphone
    data:
      message: ALERT! PS5 in stock?!
mode: single
