strange… i don’t get it running at all:
Okay i noticed there a few people having issues with the on/off button showing the incorrect state.
I have found a solution for this, it’s basically using another program to check on the network if the ps4 is up.
So with this solution there still will be an small delay. When you press the button it will go to on for a few seconds and then go back to off and as soon as the ps4 is fully booted up the switch will stay on until the ps4 is shutdown.( This will all happen in the first 1 to max 2 minutes i think.)
Solution
Install if you don’t have it installed already:
sudo apt-get install nmap
Edit your command line switch.
playstation_4:
command_on: 'ps4-waker -d 192.168.1.10 -c /home/pi/Documents/ps4beneden/.ps4-wake.credentials.json'
command_off: 'ps4-waker standby -d 192.168.1.10 -c /home/pi/Documents/ps4beneden/.ps4-wake.credentials.json'
command_state: 'nmap -p 9295 192.168.1.10 | grep -w -Eo "open" '
value_template: '{{ value == "open" }}'
friendly_name: "Playstation 4"
small explanation what’s going on
As you see the command_state has changed and the value_template is added.
The nmap command will look at port 9295 on the ip address of the ps4 (if correctly specified.) and if it finds the word open it will change the button to on.
if you want you can try this command nmap -p 9295 192.168.1.10 in the console to see what the output is.
Hi, Thanks for reply
I install map and add the command like yours ( I changed my IP)
But I look my log it shows

It looks like an error wich has to do something with indentation (formatting) of your config file.
It looks like you have every line starting at the same proint.
Can you post your config?
here is my config thanks a lot

So that i can see if there is something wrong with the spacing.
Because there should be some spaces in front of ps4: and the lones under it.
after format the command

I see the problem. you need spaces in front of the most lines. It should look like the picture beneath.
This is the code:

You can copy and paste this code if you are using a text editor like notepad++ to edit your config. I find it too hard to do with nano. I just use my windows pc to edit the files on the nano. If you are interested in this you can watch this video which explains it.
Yes, the button on home assistant is back
but still have the first question " turn it on, and goes back to off after a few seconds. _"
I’m curious about the path atfer /home/pi/Documents/
ps4beneden <-- in my case, do I add this command too?
/home/pi/Documents/ and everything behind it, is the path to the .ps4-wake.credentials.json file.
ps4beneden is just a folder i created to store this file.
You need to find out your path to this file ( i dont remember where ps4 waker originally stored the file). another handy program which also enables you to search trough the pi is winscp.It can also be done within linux i think but i don’t know much about it.
Edit: You should just use the same path you were using, because you were able to turn on the ps4 when you first messaged me.
Did work for me 
thnx
Hi
I have installed nodejs, npm and ps4-waker and tried the waker command “ps4-waker” but im getting this error:

Any ideas?
Thanks all

You may need to restart your session to update paths
Thanks @madbuda.
I’m now getting g an error saying it can’t find my credentials file, try connect to ps4-waker.
Iv connected my ps4 to my app and followed instructions but it’s not going through the credential process people mention here.
Any ideas?

copy file from /root to someplace HA can see and change ownership
I reinstalled my home assistant today and right now I’m setting everything back up.
My config used to be this:
- platform: command_line
switches:
playstation4:
command_on: 'ps4-waker'
command_off: 'ps4-waker standby'
command_state: 'ps4-waker search | grep -i "200 Ok" > nul && (echo "true") || (echo "false")'
value_template: '{{ value }}'
friendly_name: "Playstation"
netflix:
command_on: 'ps4-waker start CUSA00127'
command_off: 'ps4-waker remote ps'
command_state: 'ps4-waker search | grep -i "CUSA00127" > nul && (echo "true") || (echo "false")'
value_template: '{{ value }}'
friendly_name: "Netflix"```
But not the State is not working any more. Testing it in the command line works. It returns true/false. And I can also see it being called in the log.
But the State in HA does not change. Does anyone have a tipp for me?Hi there, sorry if the answer to my question is already in this topic here, but there’s a lot to read.
In the moment i have a commandline switch which does nothing, only showing me if the PS4 is on or off.
- platform: command_line
switches:
playstation4:
command_on: "echo on"
command_off: "echo off"
command_state: "nc -z -w 5 192.168.xxx.xxx 9295"
friendly_name: Playstation 4
The History Statistics Sensor shows me how long it was on today.
Is it possible to push a notification to the PS4 screen?
I want to show my son when his 2 hours of playing time per day are over.
Iv tried moving the file (both locations) and it doesn’t exist so I can’t. Even searched the entire pi for a credentials file but hasn’t returned anything.
I installed mine using sudo so would expect to see something on the root folder…
hi mate - im getting the same errors as you, tried running your copy statement and it asks me for credentials - even to move it.
homeassistant@raspberrypi:~ $ cp /root/.ps4-wake.credentials.json /home/homeassistant/
cp: cannot stat ‘/root/.ps4-wake.credentials.json’: Permission denied

also doesnt work…
Any help would be appreciated
