"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
• Deep work mode → home-music focus → Instrumental focus on your desk
• Dinner is served → home-music dinner → Jazz in the living room
• Bedtime → home-music sleep → Ambient sounds, barely a whisper
• Done for the day → home-music off → Silence. Peace. Serenity.

📋 Dependencies

⚠️ Important: Both Spotify and Airfoil must be running before you start any scenes!

🎬 Scenes

🌅 Morning

A gentle start to your day

home-music morning

• Speaker: Sonos Move
• Volume: 40%
• Playlist: Morning Playlist
• Vibe: ☕ Coffee + good vibes

🎉 Party

Time to celebrate!

home-music party

• Speaker: ALL (Computer, MacBook, Sonos Move, Living Room TV)
• Volume: 70%
• Playlist: Rock Party Mix
• Vibe: 🤘 Neighbors hate this one trick

😌 Chill

Pure relaxation

home-music chill

• Speaker: Sonos Move
• Volume: 30%
• Playlist: Chill Lounge
• Vibe: 🧘 Om...

🎯 Focus

Deep concentration for work-from-home

home-music focus

• Speaker: Computer only
• Volume: 35%
• Playlist: Deep Focus
• Vibe: 💻 In the zone, no distractions

Why this scene? Morning/Chill/Party all use Sonos Move or all speakers, but nothing supports the WFH use case — quiet, localized, instrumental-only to sustain deep work without disturbing the rest of the house.

🍽️ Dinner

Elegant background for meals and entertaining

home-music dinner

• Speaker: Sonos Move + Living Room TV
• Volume: 25%
• Playlist: Dinner Jazz
• Vibe: 🍷 Conversation-friendly, never overpowering

Why this scene? Party is too loud, Chill is bedroom-scale, but dinner needs multi-room coverage at low volume so music enhances — never competes with — conversation.

🌙 Sleep

Gentle wind-down for bedtime

home-music sleep

• Speaker: Computer only
• Volume: 15% (near-whisper)
• Playlist: Sleep / Ambient
• Vibe: 🌛 Drift off gently

Why this scene? No existing scene addresses the end-of-day transition. Sleep uses the quietest possible volume on the nearest speaker with a calming playlist designed to fade into silence.

🔇 Off

Silence

home-music off

• Pauses Spotify
• Disconnects all speakers
• Vibe: 🤫 Finally, peace and quiet

📊 Status

🎨 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

🔊 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'

💡 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 mf="home-music focus"
   alias md="home-music dinner"
   alias ms="home-music sleep"
   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!
