BluetoothConnector

Simple macOS CLI to connect/disconnect a Bluetooth device.

You can download a compiled version here: https://github.com/planecore/BluetoothConnector/releases

If you have issues running the compiled binary (permission denied error), try running this command in Terminal: chmod +x /path/to/BluetoothConnector

Installation

Manually

swift package update
swift build -c release
mv .build/release/BluetoothConnector /usr/local/bin/BluetoothConnector

Usage

Running

Replace 00-00-00-00-00-00 with your device's MAC address or your device name. You can get the MAC address by alt-clicking the Bluetooth menu icon or by running BluetoothConnector without any arguments

To toggle the connection (connect/disconnect) and be notified about it

BluetoothConnector 00-00-00-00-00-00 --notify

To connect and be notified about it

BluetoothConnector --connect 00-00-00-00-00-00 --notify
BluetoothConnector -c 00-00-00-00-00-00 --notify

To disconnect

BluetoothConnector --disconnect 00-00-00-00-00-00
BluetoothConnector -d 00-00-00-00-00-00

Notification Center

You can have BluetoothConnector send a notification to say what it did (connect or disconnect), if the action succeeded or get an error description if something goes wrong

BluetoothConnector 00-00-00-00-00-00 --notify

To reduce Notification Center pollution, I'd recommend turning off "Show in Notification Center" for the Script Editor app in the Notifications system preferences:
