Alfred Workflow: Bluetooth Controller
A powerful toolkit for managing your bluetooth connections. Includes Remote Trigger, to manage your Bluetooth devices on the big screen.
Installation
Download the Alfred workflow and double-click to install!
Usage
Manage bluetooth
- Turn bluetooth on:
bton - Turn bluetooth off:
btoff - Reset (disable, wait 1.5 seconds, enable:
btr
Toggle device connections
- Connect/disconnect from device:
btd+device name - By typing an argument, the workflow will automatically search through all devices prevously paired with the computer.
Manage favorite device
- Set favorite device:
btsetfavorite+device name - Connect to favorite device with hotkey (
cmd-ctr-option-xby default)

btp+device name- Wait 5 seconds for results to show up
Status

btstatus
Safe mode
Set environment variable confirm in workflow to true if you want to force user confirmation on toggle and deactivation commands. (Useful for iMacs and Mac Minis who that would have trouble turning Bluetooth on again without any input devices.)
All the listed commands have their own Remote Trigger.
Troubleshooting
If you get errors when using the workflow referring to not being able to use blueutil as it cannot be checked, you will need to manually remove the quarantine attribute from the bundled binary.
This can be done like so: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/User Name/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.*/blueutil
(Substitute User Name with your OSX username).
