While I’m at it here are volume controls directed at the system (so set Airfoil to link volume to the system)- these also work w/ screen locked
#!/usr/bin/osascript
set volume with output muted
#!/usr/bin/osascript
set volume output volume (output volume of (get volume settings) + 5)
And this will make a sensor so you can have your system volume displayed in HA:
sensor:
- platform: command_line
name: mini_vol
command: 'osascript /users/username/.homeassistant/scripts/get_mini_vol.scpt'
scan_interval: 5
unit_of_measurement: '%'
#!/usr/bin/osascript
output volume of (get volume settings)
script:
hps_vol_up:
sequence:
- service: shell_command.hps_vol_up
- service: homeassistant.update_entity
target:
entity_id: sensor.mini_vol
Just came across this, this is pretty sweet. How are you targeting different HomePods? Just sshing and running the tts script with the text parameter seems like it would only target everything airfoil is connected to.
This is REAL cool and the solution to my home security system EXCEPT as of Montery the shell command for speaker no longer works… The suggest path "/users/username/.homeassistant/… no long appears valid as Ap[ple continues its user friendly practices
Ok I just can’t seem to find the hidden .homeassisstant. in my home directory or any where else unless I do a link via Samba
Mike- open Script_editor.app and put this code in, then run it. It will list your HomePods for you and you can pick a keyword from each of them:
tell application "Airfoil"
launch
activate
get every speaker
end tell
Then you can use they keyword like I do in the examples above:
connect to (every speaker whose id contains "Bath")
Stereo pairs appear to be only listed once so Airfoil sees them as a single speaker.
Jason you can hide & unhide hidden files (start with a dot) in Finder using this keyboard combo:
shift-command-period
This is still working for me. Make sure you replace “username” with the actual HA user’s name…
I understand about hidden files and finder.but .homeassistant isn’t there

I have no problem running the applcript form te Mac I just can’t see how to run from homeassistant
You’re probably starting HA as root, in which case look for your config files here:
/private/var/root/
I talk about this confusion in the fourth or fifth paragraph here.
I will read your link wenI have a clear head. as the configuration files are not in my
/private/var/root/
what. have there is
drwxr-x--- 5 root wheel 160 Nov 1 2021 .

Well if you’re running Catalina or Ventura and you’re not running in docker or something (in which case I have no idea) then it’s about what user starts home assistant. If you have a user specifically for HA then it’ll be in that user’s main folder. If all else fails…
sudo find / -type d -name '.homeassistant'
I am Monterey and Home Assistant as follow
Home Assistant 2023.1.7
Supervisor 2023.01.1
Operating System 9.5
Frontend 20230110.0 - latest
I’m Virtual Machine running Under Virtual Box. I have no idea what docker is. That may be my core problem
Ok did some research seems docker is a hole different approach but it better access to MacOS
statement?
I don’t use it- seems like unnecessary complexity to me
Your
sudo find / -type d -name ‘.homeassistant’
finds nothing and give some a series operations to permitted even though my sudo password is accepted
I am running HA under my user ID. and .homeasistant doe not appear in my home directory . re you running it under a virtual machine?
Hmm you’ve lost your config files.
This must have something to do with the structure of the files in the VM- do you have to search those separately? I use a VENV but not a hypervisor so I don’t know how that works.
Now you are talking way above me… As fa as I can figure out VENV create a virtual enviroment using python Reviewing https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/macos. it would appear that ti create t virtual “somethings” oner fo HA OS and other for the Core
Ohhh you’re using the HA OS version (which I’ve never used). A quick search yields:
/root/config/
You’ll have to look inside the container though, however you do that
I am completely confused. Every time I try I ee to uncover one more version of HA. TTS is important to my attempt to ue HA for a security system What version ofHA are you using?
