Mute Script

sak.naxete

Well, I Love this. Using my flic to control my Mac is just AWMPGHDFHGIFDGHIDF... SO MUCH WIN!

So feel free to re-use this. I have searched a little bit over the internet to create an script that mutes my Mac when I press my Flic. Here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/osascript
set _muted to (get (output muted of (get volume settings)))
if _muted is false then
set volume with output muted
else
set volume without output muted
end if

Just paste it into a "script.AppleScript" file, and give it execute permissions > $ chmod +x script.AppleScript
And it will be ready for you to use with the app!

@anton That's great to know, I hadn't noticed it. I will try to commit more scripts as soon as I have some time to play with it

Thanks for this amazing update, I really love it!! I want to experiment a bit with some IoT capabilities, I will let you know!

That is a great use case! Weird that I did not think of it myself
Feel free to submit a pull request on github with it. Or I can add it myself, either way.

I should add however that this will not work if your selected audio output does not have support mute capabilities, such as some digital optical audio stuff.. But not a big deal!
