Thanks,

 

Tested and it seems like it works to use and connect with. However, once connected i cannot disconnect using the same command.

And when i run 'airpd' while connected it says 'Airpods pro are NOT connected' even though they are.

Yep, I figured that out later yesterday and fixed it: https://github.com/Acidham/alfred-airpod-connector/blob/master/AirPods Connector.alfredworkflow

 

Please try again.

June 2023, is this still working for everyone? It seems if my AirPods pro (2nd gen) are connected to my phone and i want to switch to MacBook air it does not work and i have to manually go into bluetooth setting still....just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this

Welcome @jnack,

 

When you have an issue with a workflow, check the debugger. The creator will need that information to know what’s happening in your case.

[Stooovie]

Requires installing blueutil to work. Via Homebrew:

brew install blueutil

 

[Acidham]

Yep!

[osthing]

I installed blueutil through home-brew but it is not still working

what should I do now?

See this post on how to report a problem with a workflow—then use the debugger while you run the workflow and copy and paste the output here.

@osthing If you are on Sonoma, you need to add Alfred to Bluetooth permissions under Privacy & Security on System Settings.

How can I add AirPods icon like this picture?

Mine there is no icon then empty space

[vitor]

That’s a different matter. Please follow the procedure outlined by @Stephen_C. And make sure you’re really using this workflow, since there’s more than one for AirPods.

[Acidham]

@osthing what AirPod version are you using?

[osthing]

Now 6B34 Version.

[Acidham]

I assume this is the Firmware Version but I need the AirPod version or better Model Number which you can find in settings when connected. 

[osthing]

I dont know exactly what does it mean airpods version.

[Acidham]

yep model number and from what I see the model is supported, but it seems the icon file will not be picked up. 

 

When you open the FINDER (right-click on the workflow) you should see the .png files. Please check

[osthing]

Png files are in finder, but it works not like that.

@osthing I love your "Why?" illustration! So sweet 😀
 

I can tell you why: I basically forgot to add airpodpro2.png to the workflow. Thank you for reporting I released a new version: https://github.com/Acidham/alfred-airpod-connector/releases/tag/v1.3.10

Hey, @Acidham.

 

First, thank you for making this workflow. I have submitted pull requests to this workflow and have been a daily user of it since then. I wonder how it performs recently for you because I have issues where it is slow or just straight up doesn't connect/disconnect. 

 

I added some debug info in the con_manager.py script and found out that the problem is probably the 'os.popen()' lines. They do not give an error, but they don't seem to do anything. If I pass on the f'{blueutil} --connect {adr}' command to a Terminal Command object, things would work, actually work a lot better. It usually takes about 5-6 seconds to connect to my AirPods, but in this fashion it takes 2 seconds, tops. 

 

#!/usr/bin/python3

import os
import shutil
import sys

from Alfred3 import Tools

query = Tools.getArgv(1)
adr, switch = tuple(query.split(";"))
Tools.log(adr)
Tools.log(switch)

blueutil = shutil.which('blueutil')
Tools.log(blueutil)

if blueutil:
    if switch == "disconnected":
        Tools.log("1")
        Tools.log(adr)
        cmd = f'{blueutil} --connect {adr}'
        Tools.log(cmd)
        sys.stdout.write(cmd)
        # os.popen(cmd)
    else:
        Tools.log("2")
        cmd = f'{blueutil} --disconnect {adr}'
        Tools.log(cmd)
        sys.stdout.write(cmd)
        # os.popen(cmd)
        
Tools.log("Finished")

 

Does anyone have an insight into why Python's 'os.popen()' is much slower and could stop working? 

 

I have tried to pass the "/opt/homebrew/bin/blueutil --disconnect AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA"-like command into a Run Script object like this:

 

 

Except it did not work. So I chose the Terminal Command object. I would like to know why that happens too…

 

Also, I wonder what the --wait-disconnect option in your script intended to do?

I'm using macOS 14.5, Alfred 5.5 [2257], AirPods Pro (2nd gen with USB-C case), blueutil 2.10.0.

I need to look into that but more elegant would be to use subprocess.Popen()

 

I need to implement and test when I will find some time
