Device	Status	What they said	Source
PlayStation 5	Partly works	On/off works; since v1.5.0 shows as not on, sleep from console crashed Homebridge, no Remote widget Saved copy Describe The Bug: When I switch on my PS5, it is not shown as on anymore in Home App and Homebridge (only when the button is enlarged it is shown as on). This bug persits since v1.5.0. To Reproduce: 1. Switch on PS5 2. See device in Home App/Homebridge Expected behavior: The PS5 Button should show that the PS5 is on, instead of only showing lines. Logs: No specific error in logs.

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
