CMD Switchhomebridge-cmdswitch2 | Works | Works after adding sudo to commands and redoing credentials on Raspberry PiSaved copyHello everyone, I'm trying to use CMDSwitch2 with ps4-waker.

| cmdSwitch2 with ps4-waker | Partly works | Wakes and sleeps PS4 from Home app; only works from rest mode, not fully offSaved copy… 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.
