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

🎨 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"
PLAYLIST_CHILL="spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DWTwnEm1IYyoj"

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

# 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'

💡 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!
