Pair your AirPods with your machine before running this script! ⚠️ Note: DO NOT FORGET TO EDIT THE AIRPODS_MAC VARIABLE IN main.py/standalone.py WITH YOUR AIRPODS MAC ADDRESS!

4. Run!

You can either choose the more polished version of the script, which currently only supports fetching the battery percentage, and in-ear status (but not actually controlling the media with that information), or the more experimental standalone version of the script, which supports the following features:

• Controlling the media with the in-ear status
• Remove the device as an audio sink when the AirPods are not in your ears.
• Try to connect with the AirPods if media is playing and the AirPods are not connected.

Polished version

python3 main.py

Experimental version
