Hello everyone, I'm trying to use CMDSwitch2 with ps4-waker. I was able to setup both while Homebridge running on Macbook. Works very good. But I need to move it to a Homebridge on Raspberry Pi. After installing ps4-waker I'm able to turn on/off Playstation manually typing "ps4-waker" or "ps4-waker standby. But it doesn't work with Homebridge + CMDSwitch2. Not responding. But no errors. After setup of both plugins, I can see the new device in the Home app on iOS. But pressing Playstation button does nothing. Do anyone have the same issue? Everything is updated. Node -v v8.9.3 NPM -v 5.5.1 …

… command line commands via HomeKit and can be set up to check if a device is on as well so that you can see the state in the Home app. In this case I'm using ps4-waker to wake and sleep my PS4. PS4-waker pretends to be the PS4 second screen app for iOS in order to wake or sleep your PS4. It takes a bit of setup so make sure that is working before adding it to homebridge.
