I am attempting to run a shell command to raise/lower the volume on my HTPC. shell_command: volume_up: ssh username@192.168.x.x pactl – set-sink-volume 0 +5% The command works as expect when executed from the terminal, but does not when used as a script in home assistant. I’m assuming it has som…

Thanks Tinker, I have try: ssh -i /config/ssh_keys/id_rsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no leo@192.168.178.111 'osascript /Users/leo/Desktop/Scripts/ArmaTelecamere.scpt' Is the same…

You have the ssh-key in the correct file of your Mac?

Odds are high that the problem is your use of the public key in those commands :wink: The public key goes to the authorized_keys file on the remote host, the private key is the one you use when connecting.

Thanks for quick reply! And well… that’s a really good point! :smiley: Networking is total magic to me. I have cp’ed the private key to /config/ssh folder and tried to run commands again with it. Though again Error 255 pops up. I have wondered whether quotation marks have something to do with that …

Did you add the public key to the authorized_keys file for pi on the remote host? Where is your private key? You seem to be confused about where it might be.
