"Why click 17 times when one command does the job?" – Owen 🐸

Shows:
# Make the script executable
chmod +x ~/clawd/skills/home-music/home-music.sh
# Symlink for global access
sudo ln -sf ~/clawd/skills/home-music/home-music.sh /usr/local/bin/home-music
Now home-music works from anywhere in your terminal! 🎉
Open home-music.sh and find the playlist configuration:
# === PLAYLIST CONFIGURATION ===
PLAYLIST_MORNING="spotify:playlist:19n65kQ5NEKgkvSAla5IF6"
PLAYLIST_PARTY="spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXaXB8fQg7xif"
PLAYLIST_CHILL="spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DWTwnEm1IYyoj"
How to find Playlist URIs:
/playlist/ partAdd a new case in the main block:
# In home-music.sh after the "scene_chill" function:
scene_workout() {
echo "💪 Starting Workout scene..."
airfoil_set_source_spotify
airfoil_connect "Sonos Move"
sleep 0.5
airfoil_volume "Sonos Move" 0.8
"$SPOTIFY_CMD" play "spotify:playlist:YOUR_WORKOUT_PLAYLIST"
"$SPOTIFY_CMD" volume 100
echo "✅ Workout: Sonos Move @ 80%, Pump it up!"
}
# And in the case block:
workout)
scene_workout
;;
ALL_SPEAKERS=("Computer" "Andy's M5 Macbook" "Sonos Move" "Living Room TV")
You can add any AirPlay speaker – they just need to be visible in Airfoil.
Check 1: Is Airfoil running?
pgrep -x Airfoil || echo "Airfoil is not running!"
Check 2: Is the speaker on the network?
Check 3: Is the name exactly correct?
Check 1: Is Spotify playing?
~/clawd/skills/spotify-applescript/spotify.sh status
Check 2: Is the Airfoil source correct?
Check 3: Speaker volume?
# Manually check volume
osascript -e 'tell application "Airfoil" to get volume of (first speaker whose name is "Sonos Move")'
Is Spotify open?
pgrep -x Spotify || open -a Spotify
Is spotify-applescript installed?
ls ~/clawd/skills/spotify-applescript/spotify.sh
chmod +x ~/clawd/skills/home-music/home-music.sh
If you want to control Airfoil manually:
# Connect a speaker
osascript -e 'tell application "Airfoil" to connect to (first speaker whose name is "Sonos Move")'
# Set speaker volume (0.0 - 1.0)
osascript -e 'tell application "Airfoil" to set (volume of (first speaker whose name is "Sonos Move")) to 0.5'
# Disconnect a speaker
osascript -e 'tell application "Airfoil" to disconnect from (first speaker whose name is "Sonos Move")'
# List connected speakers
osascript -e 'tell application "Airfoil" to get name of every speaker whose connected is true'
# Set audio source
osascript -e 'tell application "Airfoil"
set theSource to (first application source whose name contains "Spotify")
set current audio source to theSource
end tell'
