Having issues with a shell command

The actions in the Reaction that send the data to the Vera MutliString device, didn't have "?" in their expressions.
I have just added them like this:
EDIT:
It doesn't like the first one " mappedstatuscode? " I've removed the question mark for that one.
-
I've also now added a virtual switch in Vera, this works with two new MSR rules (#3 and #4).
First rule (#4), that when the virtual switch it turned on or off manually in Vera / Home Remote app, it will send the appropriate power command to the ps4 via shell command:
ON = ps4-waker
OFF = ps4-waker standby
The second rule (#3) updates the state of the Vera virtual switch, if the PS4's power is controlled by some other outside means.
This rule monitors the "mappedstatuscode" expression variable, which will either say "On" or "Off" and then it adjusts the Vera virtual switch accordingly to match that current actual state of the PS4, so the virtual switch doesn't get out of sync.I am still experimenting with this, but my thinking was to have an additional "switch" in Vera / Home Remote app, to be able to manually / directly control the PS4's power (outside of a Harmony activity) as a backup switch. Say if the PS4 didn't turn on when the Harmony Activity for it was started and the other MSR rule (#1) didn't work with its attempt and didn't turn on the PS4.
Although having said that, I guess some kind of test and retry (in rule #1) to attempt to turn on the PS4 power again, might be a better way of doing it, if it failed to do so initially.
So in total I currently have four rules.
- "Lounge - Harmony PS4 Activity Start - Wake PS4 Shell Command"
Turns on PS4 when Harmony Activity is starting.
- "PS4 Waker Check"
This is the rule with all the expressions in it for the MultiString Vera device. Displays the PS4's current status etc
- "Playstation 4 Virtual Switch Status from PS4-Waker"
Controls the virtual switch in Vera based on the actual state of the PS4 power, info as coming from ps4-waker check and rule #2
- "Playstation 4 Virtual Switch ON / OFF"
Sends either the on or off shell commands to the PS4 based on the virtual switch in Vera / Home Remote app being manually operated.
Home Remote tiles:
I am sure there must be better / easier ways of doing all this.

This seems to happen if the shell command doesn't return any response on the first go
Have you figured out what
ps4-wakerdoes when it doesn't get the device turned on? Does it return a particular exit code that isn't used by the on/off status result? Or does it just give an empty reply? Either way, you might write a wrapper script to detect that and retry (Reactor would then start the wrapper script instead ofps4-wakerdirectly.Issues like this are how you bring your shell scripting and system administration skills up a notch.

I'm not sure, I will look out for when it happens again.
I think it makes MSR error when it tries to send the "ps4-waker" command to turn ON the games console but fails to connect for whatever reason.
Most times it works and the console does turn on but sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks

Actually I have five MSR rules for the Playstation. I have another one that is also monitoring for the Harmony Activity starting, this rule closes the lounge blind and curtains if its daytime.
Would having two rules monitoring for the same trigger event, the Harmony Activity starting, have any affect on things?
Maybe one rule hi-jacks the other from triggering sometimes ?

The goal I propose is to write a script that runs
ps4-wakeritself, and retries if it fails to connect. MSR would then run that script instead of runningps4-wakerdirectly. If, for example, theps4-wakerscript simply returns no data (empty) result, then something like this would work:#!/bin/sh while true; do # Run command and capture its output and exit status output=`ps4-waker $*` status=$? # If output was produced, stop looping. if [ -n "$output" ]; then break; fi sleep 1 # slow retries down a little done # Echo back the command output and exit with its exit status. echo "$output" exit $statusSave this as
ps4-wrapper.shin the Reactor install directory (or somewhere along the path, like whereps4-wakercurrently is), and give it execute permissions (chmod 755 ps4-wrapper.sh).The wrapper script can be run in place of
ps4-waker, with the same arguments (e.g.ps4-wrapper.sh status). If a request fails and produces no output, it is simply re-run until output is produced (or until the command times out in Reactor, when it is killed). -

No, each rule has its own supervision of its entities of interest, etc. You'd be able to quickly confirm this by looking in the logs and seeing that the SET reactions for both rules run.

Great thanks I will try this approach instead then.
But first I will leave things as is and see what happens? when it doesn't turn on the PS4 on first attempt.
It might just return no data in the response as you suggest, or it may as I seem to think, return something else, which I haven't documented here in this thread yet. But I can't remember off the top of my head what it was doing.
-
This isn't related to when the PS4 doesn't turn on.
When the PS4 is OFF / sleep mode, I am seeing this error alert appearing, to do with the parsing of the output to JSON.
I assume this alert occurs if the "ps4-waker check" command hasn't worked and initially pulled in the data ?
Maybe I need two wrapper scripts then, one for turning on the power and one for the check command also.
-
Regarding the power on issue and maybe using a wrapper script.
When I manually run the "ps4-waker" command in terminal this is the output I get back:
WAKEUP sent to device... 192.168.0.201I don't see any alert in MSR gui when it fails to turn on the PS4 on its first and currently only attempt to do so.
Looking in the log I can't see anything there either as to why the command didn't turn on the PS4 ?

I've created the ps4-wrapper.sh file and made it executable and placed it in to the Reactor root directory as I cannot find where the actual ps4-waker utility is installed / located on the system.
When I try to run the script in terminal I get errors:
root@HP-Thin01:/home/stuart/reactor# bash ps4-wrapper.sh ps4-wrapper.sh: line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file root@HP-Thin01:/home/stuart/reactor# sh ps4-wrapper.sh ps4-wrapper.sh: 14: ps4-wrapper.sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then") root@HP-Thin01:/home/stuart/reactor#Also how do I modify the MSR rules to run the script instead of the command directly ?
I tried this:
Thanks
EDIT:
Seems it didn't like me creating the script in Notepad++ on Windows and copying it over to the Debian machine.
So I deleted the script and created it again using nano editor on Debian and now I can run the script OK from the terminal window and the PS4 did turn ON.
However I cannot run the script from the MSR rule still, nothing seems to happen when I play the reaction.
I can't see any errors related to ps4-wrapper.sh

When you create the file on Windows in Notepad++, it will get Windows line endings (CR+LF) instead of Unix line endings (LF alone) and that confuses the shell. You can select the right line endings under the Edit > EOL Conversion in Notepad++.
If you modified the
ps4-wakercommand to be anything other thanps4-waker $*put it back the way I gave it to you. That lets you run the wrapper script with arguments on the command line that will get passed through, like this:./ps4-wrapper.sh statusor./ps4-wrapper.sh somethingelseIn the MSR rule, you should use

Top tip thanks, I have changed that setting now in Notepad++

I haven't change the script, that line still says
output=`ps4-waker $*In the terminal I can use this command and it works and outputs the response
sh ps4-wrapper.sh checkSo the argument is passed OK.
I can also just run this command which turns on the PS4
sh ps4-wrapper.shThere is no argument for the command for turning on the PS4 as the command is just
ps4-wakerSo maybe this is the problem?
However I am unsure how to run the .sh file from my MSR rules?
Thanks

Best way is to use
/full/path/to/ps4-wrapper.sh arguments, but you may also get away with./ps4-wrapper.sh argumentsif it's in the Reactor install directory.

Seems to do the trick, the PS4 now turns on when this rules trigger happens, which is the Harmony Activity Starting.
I will modify the other rules now to use the wrapper script instead of issuing the commands directly.
Thanks again.

Excellent. If you've got a backup script running that takes care of just your
configandstorage, remember to add your wrapper script to its list of things to copy, since it's not in one of those directories.Author of Multi-system Reactor and Reactor, DelayLight, Switchboard, and about a dozen other plugins that run on Vera and openLuup.

I haven't got one, but I could really do with having a backup script running to copy those folders off the HP Thin Client to maybe my Windows file server or something. Or maybe even to a USB stick in the Thin Client if I can find a spare one big enough.
