Dente Azul — Toggle bluetooth and paired device connectivity

[msa]

That did the trick, I uninstalled blueutil from homebrew, called the workflow and downloaded the utility in the shared_resources as you mentioned. Great thanks for the help!

Update.

Auto-update device connection status.

To update, download the latest version (same URL) or wait a few days and it’ll prompt you to on next usage, since it uses OneUpdater.

Update.

No longer toggle menu bar icon visibility.

• New repository.
• New icon.
• New About.
• Add configurable keywords.

Hi @vitor

 

I have an issue with Dente Azul and was hoping you could help!

I have installed Dente Azul today, but unfortunately using the btd command to disconnect a connected bluetooth headphone does not work.

 

I have a bluetooth headphone connected to my M1 Mac. Using the btd command successfully shows the headphone, and shows it as enabled/connected.

But pressing "enter" with the headphone selected does not disconnect the headphone as expected.

Strangely, when I disconnect the headphone via the Bluetooth menu in MacOS, using the btd command does work to connect to the headphones. 
Using blueutil via the terminal to directly issue the disconnect command to the device's address works fine, so it's not a compatibility issue with the headphone. 

The device address that Dente Azul passes to the script is the correct address. 
 

I have the latest version of blueutil installed via HomeBrew (2.9.1). (I also removed it and used Alfred's dependency manager to install it, but no dice).

I also have the latest version of Dente Azul (v2023.1)

I am running MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 

Alfred Version: 5.0.6 

Attached is the debug output of running the btd command and pressing enter.

Entering "blueutil --disconnect 30-53-c1-61-9c-c6" in the terminal disconnects the headset as intended.

 

If you can provide any help with troubleshooting, that would be awesome as this is a really cool extension!

I actually fixed the issue in the script myself. 

 

I noticed that the correct address was passed to the script that runs the bluetooth command. 

I placed an echo in front of the $address value, which correctly spits out the address in the Alfred debugger.

Then I placed an echo in front of the $connected value. However, this spits out a "1" instead of a "true" value.

The script starts by comparing the $connected value to 'true', but since the value is 1, the condition is false and the disconnect command is never run.

 

Changing the script from

 [[ "${connected}" == 'true' ]] 

to 

[[ "${connected}" == '1' ]] 

fixed the issue. 

 

Attached is the script as working for me. 

 

Adding the Echoes to observe the values

Output of the script with the echoes. See that the "$Connected" value is 1. 

 

Changing the script to compare the value of $Connected to '1' instead of 'true' like so fixes the issue

Welcome @mark_eerstift,

 

Right you are. I've pushed the fix and it’ll be live in the Gallery later today. Thank you for looking into it.

[gingerbeardman]

How would I rig a hotkey to this to toggle bluetooth regardless of current value?

[vitor]

@gingerbeardman Is this what you mean? If so, I’ll make a proper release shortly.

[vitor]

@gingerbeardman Could you confirm if the above is what you requested, so I can either make a proper release or make changes?

[gingerbeardman]

Hi Vitor!

 

Sorry for the delay, I have just released a new video game project so have been busy.

 

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

No worries. I thought you might’ve missed the previous message since it was soon after your request.

Do tell! Can you share some details or a link?

[vitor]

Oh, I see you make games for the Playdate. Very cool! Congrats on the new launch!

[gingerbeardman]

Thanks! Promo site is at http://sparrowsolitaire.com

 

Or big pinned threads on my social media accounts, I think you found them. Cheers!

I am having trouble getting Dente Azul to work on my machine running Sonoma 14.3. I've given Alfred all the necessary permissions... running the debugger comes back with this:

Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

[vitor]

You have to install blueutil, as per the information at the top of the Gallery page. Run the dependencies manager.

Thank you for this great workflow @vitor!! Would you consider adding the battery status, if available? @zeitlings had a script to retrieve it.

This workflow has been using blueutil since it was created in 2017 (7 years ago). blueutil does not have an option to show battery status, but if they add it I can add it to the workflow too.

The alternative is rewriting the whole workflow from scratch. Which I’m not against and have considered it before but zero promises.
