I'm trying to create an applescript to allow me to connect to a bluetooth device by it's Bluetooth ID.
So far, i've managed to get an applescript to turn on bluetooth if it's off. Here's the code:
# This is only necessary, if AppleScripts are not yet allowed to change checkboxes
tell application "System Events" to set UI elements enabled to true
# Now change the bluetooth status
tell application "System Preferences"
set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preferences.bluetooth"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
# Enabled is checkbox number 2
if value of checkbox 2 of window "Bluetooth" is 0 then
click checkbox 2 of window "Bluetooth"
end if
end tell
end tell
quit
end tell
Would someone know if and how it's possible to set up a new bluetooth device and if it'd be posible to connect to a device based on it's device name/ it's device bluetooth ID?
I've also tried to record the action in Automator but for the "set up new device" option, Automator just tells me: "click on "" button". Thanks
