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


🎯 What Does This Skill Do?

Home Music combines Spotify + Airfoil into magical music scenes. One command – and the right playlist plays on the right speakers at the perfect volume.

Imagine:

  • You wake up → home-music morning → Gentle tunes in the bathroom
  • Friends arrive → home-music party → All speakers blasting rock
  • Time to relax → home-music chill → Lounge vibes everywhere
  • Done for the day → home-music off → Silence. Peace. Serenity.

🎨 Custom Playlists & Scenes

Changing Playlists

Open home-music.sh and find the playlist configuration:

# === PLAYLIST CONFIGURATION ===
PLAYLIST_MORNING="spotify:playlist:19n65kQ5NEKgkvSAla5IF6"
PLAYLIST_PARTY="spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXaXB8fQg7xif"

How to find Playlist URIs:

  1. Right-click on a playlist in Spotify
  2. "Share" → "Copy Spotify URI"
  3. Or copy the URL and extract the /playlist/ part

Adding a New Scene

Add 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
        ;;

Available Speakers

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.


🐛 Troubleshooting

❌ "Speaker won't connect"

Check 1: Is Airfoil running?

pgrep -x Airfoil || echo "Airfoil is not running!"

Check 2: Is the speaker on the network?

  • Open the Airfoil app
  • Check if the speaker appears in the list
  • Try connecting manually

Check 3: Is the name exactly correct?

  • Speaker names are case-sensitive!
  • Open Airfoil and copy the exact name

❌ "No sound"

Check 1: Is Spotify playing?

~/clawd/skills/spotify-applescript/spotify.sh status

Check 2: Is the Airfoil source correct?

  • Open Airfoil
  • Check if "Spotify" is selected as the audio source
  • If not: Click "Source" → Select Spotify

Check 3: Speaker volume?

# Manually check volume
osascript -e 'tell application "Airfoil" to get volume of (first speaker whose name is "Sonos Move")'

❌ "Spotify won't start"

Is Spotify open?

pgrep -x Spotify || open -a Spotify

Is spotify-applescript installed?

ls ~/clawd/skills/spotify-applescript/spotify.sh

❌ "Permission denied"

chmod +x ~/clawd/skills/home-music/home-music.sh

🔊 Direct Airfoil Commands

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'

# Start chill focus music
play_chill_mode(volume=30)

# Check what's playing
print(get_status())

💡 Pro Tips

  1. Set aliases for even faster access:

    alias mm="home-music morning"
    alias mp="home-music party"
    alias mc="home-music chill"
    alias mo="home-music off"
    
  2. Use with Clawdbot:

    "Hey, start party mode" "Put on some chill music" "Stop the music"

  3. Combine scenes: Create a dinner scene with a jazz playlist at 25% – perfect for guests!
