Installation
1) Install the
BluetoothConnector utility
using
brew install bluetoothconnector
Make sure to have
brew
installed. This will install the latest
version of BluetoothConnector.
Unfortunately BluetoothConnector is not
@-versioned. Thus, make sure that brew
installs version 2.0.0+ of
BluetoothConnector or upgrade using
brew upgrade bluetoothconnector
in case you update from an older version
of this workflow.
2) Download the workflow file ↗ here and import it.
In case of errors
If you encounter any errors running the workflow double-check the steps above and test wether you have Python installed on your system (version 2.7 and version 3.* are compatible with this workflow).
Usage
On your first run, you have to select the
bluetooth device that are your AirPods.
Once you have done this you can use the
airp keyword
to connect / disconnect your AirPods.
Whenever you want to change the device you
can use the
airp config
keyword to select a new bluetooth device.
By default, this workflow also offers the
ability to trigger a connect / disconnect
action using a hotkey. The default hotkey
is
⌃ Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + ⌘ Cmd + A.
