3. Install the PS5 MQTT add-on. Not the edge version!.
4. Configure the add-on as described in the documentation.

6. Use the web-ui to authenticate with each PlayStation device.

The MQTT entities will be created automatically when a new device is discovered on your network.

FAQ

The log is showing 403 errors when I try to turn my ps5 on or off!

Double check that you've enabled all required remote play features as described in the remote play documentation.

Can devices be powered on/off from/to other modes than rest mode?

No. The underlying remote play protocol from sony does not support this.

Why does this add-on only support Awake/Standby on Playstation 4?

There already is a great Home Assistant integration that supports more functionality for PS4 devices like starting games. However, users have reported that this add-on detects Awake/Standby changes faster than the existing integration. So if you want you can use this add-on next to the existing integration or instead of it, if you are only interested in Standby/Awake.

Can I get the yaml code for button in the example image?

No. I based my personal custom button cards on this project. But I heavily modified them and added loads of custom stuff that is not suitable for sharing at this time as it will likely raise more questions than provide answers.

Thanks & Credits

The initial MQTT implementation for tracking device power was based on the work done by andrew-codes and can be found in this repository.
