PlayStation 5: your PS5 in Home Assistant, fully local. Local, no cloud. Wake and rest mode. In the Marketplace.

About

PlayStation 5 is a Marketplace integration that shows a Sony PS5's status and lets Home Assistant wake it or put it into rest mode. Control runs locally over the network, without cloud, MQTT or an extra app. It adds a power switch, a status sensor, a system software update entity and a PlayStation Plus binary sensor. The console is usually found automatically, and setup requires pairing with a PIN from the PS5's Remote Play menu. The console does not report the running game locally, so an optional PlayStation Network login adds the current game, trophy data, online status and images for game cover and avatar. Wake-up works from rest mode only, and game launching or button presses are not supported.
