Welcome to one central part of my home automation.
The lib module can:
- switch wireless power sockets
- connect to some bluetooth audio device
- handle my external usb disks
- start some applications (which need the disk to be mounted)
- or run scripts in a new terminal window
- handle dependencies in between:
- unmount disk before switching power off
- kill applications before unmount
It runs on macOS and requires some recent python 3.
Some parts are in plain Apple Script as this was the only way I could figure out how to automate bluetooth dialup.
For more information visit the project description. To control the power sockets, full_power is used!
- The main entry point is the shove command.
The ext module resuses parts of lib and extends it to provide:
- the install command to setup some helpers.
- the color command to set the light of full_power.
There is some commandline with this scheme:
shove {module} {action} [--{flags}]
- Use
shove --helporshove {module} --helpto see which modules and actions are available. - Valid flags are:
| --lift: | If given, turns things on, if omitted things are turned off. |
|---|---|
| --slow: | Walk through the full dependency path (with duplicate actions). |
| --dump: | Just print the path without invoking any module. |
So to prepare everything for listening to music, I type:
shove start itunes -l
Use the install command to create some helper files:
./install {what} {where}
- Where specifies the full output file location.
- Valid what values are:
| alfwf: | Generate some info.plist for alfred workflow with all triggers. |
|---|---|
| volwf: | Generate some info.plist for alfred workflow to control volume. |
| zcomp: | Generate a _shove file which is then be used as zsh completion. |
Split the day in one or more hi points. The light is set to value between lo and hi according to current time:
./color {points} [--{hi} 0xffffff] [--{lo} 0x000000]
- Points must be a number bigger or equal than one.
- hi, lo color values can be entered
as HEX if prefixed with
0x.
