I’m building a workflow that effectively changes input/output on my computer and pauses iTunes/Radium. So when I get a call, I can hit a keyboard shortcut and change my input/output to my headset, then back to speakers when I’m done. That part’s working, but I’ve got a second action executing Applescript chained in that should be pausing iTunes or Radium if they’re running, which doesn’t seem to be working. If I assign a keyword or trigger directly to the AppleScript to pause the music, it works, but not when it’s chained after the Perl script to change input/output. I can’t seem to figure out why. I uploaded the .workflow here: http://take.ms/8UUpO if someone can take a look and let me know what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it.

I've duplicated the Workflow as suggested and had changed one trigger to up and one to down, and that was working fine. Something changed and now when I do "up nest" and pick the upstairs Nest, it changes the downstairs workflow to control that Nest and vise versa, effectively making the duplication of the Workflow useless. Is this due to the API change on Nest's end as well? Thoughts on how I can fix this so each Workflow will control each separate Nest?

Getting workflows to work in Remote - help required
mikejandreau replied to HRD's topic in Alfred Remote Discussion & Help
Awesome, thanks! -
I've been using Actions for the last year or so and it's kinda okay. One of their add-on features that I'd love to see in Alfred remote (and thus would make me ditch Actions all together) is workflows. For example, you string together multiple actions. As an example: Step 1, trigger a workflow called "Transmit" (to connect to transmit) Step 2, type text of X,Y,Z Step 3, press enter. Sure, I could build that into an actual Workflow using AppleScript, but then I have to create a new workflow for every single site I want to connect to in Transmit. By having steps to the action Alfred remote's taking, I can tell it to do things in succession. Another example would be when I want to Send an email. Step 1, open Mail Step 2, focus on TO lien Step 3, type text Step 4, move to body of email. (That's a bad example because why wouldn't you just do that on the iPad or OS X, right?) You get the idea, though. Stepped workflows to allow you to trigger something, type something, or press enter, etc.

Getting workflows to work in Remote - help required
mikejandreau replied to HRD's topic in Alfred Remote Discussion & Help
In my experience this morning, Andrew's write up here works. However, if I try to use the "Add Workflow" at the bottom of the Remote, it does not work. But adding the page, and right clicking to drop the Workflow there worked a charm. Excited to update all of my workflows. @Andrew, if there's a possibility in Remote 1.1 to not have the screen time out (see how Actions app handles this), that'd be awesome. Having to unlock the iPad when it's plugged in and next to me would slow me down in 99% of cases. -
I'm okay with switching between them, but the workflow isn't picking up the name that's set on the Nest, which makes it tough to know which is which. Any way to fix that?
-
I just bought a second Nest as I'm in the process of moving to a place with two zones. Will this workflow work with two different Nests on the same account? Or will I have to duplicate the workflow and change the triggers to nest-2 or something to have it talk to the second unit?

Stupid question, but is there some setting in a YouTube video that would prevent its audio from being downloaded? I thought this broke again, but it seems that some videos just don't download properly. I get the "you're done" chime, but there's no file and nothing in /tmp If I try another video, it works fine.
-
The old "did you turn it off and back on again" seems to have fixed it. I also ran a disk utility repair on the drive, just in case permissions were wonky on the /tmp location, and my test worked successfully. Thanks for the awesome plugin and awesome support!
-
Thanks much! Here's the entirety of the debug code: http://take.ms/TYgLc (I tried to paste it here, but it showed the actual video I was trying to grab the audio from, as a test.) For what it's worth, the same exact Alfred preferences work on my laptop. I also checked my Python version, and I'm on 2.7.5 on this machine.
-
I just stumbled onto this and wanted to try it, but can't get any files to download. I don't see anything in /tmp/ nor my downloads destination regardless of where I set it to. Any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this? Seems like an awesome workflow that I'd love to have in my toolbelt.

GrowlVoice appears to have been shut off in the past week or so because of a change in Google's backend. It's also been removed from the App Store and many people say that their existing apps stopped working. Is there any plan to update this workflow to still work with GoogleVoice, but without the requirement of GrowlVoice (since that's now defunct)?
-
That did the trick for me. I think something about my user account was preventing the clear command from working. I'm back up and running being 100% lazy to change the temperature now. Thanks! FWIW, this is probably my most used workflow. Love it.
-
Jason, that didn't work for me. I cleared my session via the new version and still get "Search Google" when I type nest temp. Anything else I can try?
-
Their API must have definitely changed. I type nest temp and then it suggests I search Google because it can't connect to my Nest. Looking forward to an update so I can not have to reach for my phone anymore!

I'm making my first workflow. It's fairly simple: it will allow me to set the status of my IM clients (both Skype and Adium) to Away, Meeting, DND or Available all at once, as well as pause or play iTunes (based on the status). The bit I'm having trouble with is: set imState to {"Available", "Away", "Meeting", "Do not Disturb"} choose from list imState with prompt "Choose the Status..." default items "Available" OK button name "Set" cancel button name "Cancel" set imState to result as string The shows the right prompt and everything works correctly. However, the dialog that pops up is not in focus, so I have to click on it, select my selection and click Set. If I can force it to be in focus, I can arrow down to the status I want and press enter to set it. If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd be a happy guy.
