DevDeck - macOS

A drop-in replacement for operating system controls and decks implemented in DevDeck.

DevDeck is a really neat tool but some of the default controls such as the volume controls assume you are running on a machine with PulseAudio ie; Linux.

This package is intended as a replacement for those controls but with support for macOS instead.

More specifically, it uses osascript to issue system commands under the hood.

By drop-in, you should only have to change the package name in the original DevDeck controls to achieve the same effect for macOS eg;

decks:
  - serial_number: "ABC123456789"
    name: 'devdeck.decks.single_page_deck_controller.SinglePageDeckController'
    settings:
      controls:
-       - name: 'devdeck.controls.volume_mute_control.VolumeMuteControl'
+       - name: 'devdeck_macos.controls.volume_mute_control.VolumeMuteControl'

Installing

Simply install DevDeck - macOS into the same python environment that you have installed DevDeck.

$ pip install devdeck-macos

You can then update your DevDeck configuration to use decks and controls from this package.

Configuration

At the moment, only VolumeMuteControl is implemented but I plan to port over more controls shortly.

Example configuration:

decks:
  - serial_number: "ABC123456789"
    name: 'devdeck.decks.single_page_deck_controller.SinglePageDeckController'
    settings:
      controls:
        - name: 'devdeck_macos.controls.volume_mute_control.VolumeMuteControl'
          key: 0

NOTE: Unlike the original package, you do not have to specify the specific microphone as it will default to the currently selected default in System Preferences.

If there is a need for it, I can see whether osascript supports muting a specific input device.
