Is it possible to turn the PS5 on and off?

The only way I know to do that is using Home Assistant. It works, but requires additional hardware.

I use HomeAssistant. Can you explain how it works?

You have to install an add-on and connect it to your account and PS5.

If you don’t already have an MQTT broker, you will need to install one of those too. I used Mosquitto.

# Home Assistant Add-on: Mosquitto broker

## Installation

Follow these steps to get the add-on installed on your system:

1. Navigate in your Home Assistant frontend to **Settings** -> **Add-ons** -> **Add-on store**.
2. Find the "Mosquitto broker" add-on and click it.
3. Click on the "INSTALL" button.

## How to use

The add-on has a couple of options available. To get the add-on running:

1. Start the add-on.
2. Have some patience and wait a couple of minutes.
3. Check the add-on log output to see the result.

Create a new user for MQTT via your Home Assistant's frontend **Settings** -> **People** -> **Users** , (i.e. not on Mosquitto's **Configuration** tab).
