Anyone have a Stream Deck to automate their *nix desktop? I want one just for running scripts.*

@prologic It's basically a self-hosting IFTTT, which is cool. What I'd like to do is control my programs in an offline fashion using scripts/commands that are tied to physical buttons. But honestly, an off-brand remote control or wireless keyboard would be even better than a Stream Deck for such a purpose. Those devices can be easily programmed from Sway/i3.

For example, you can leverage volume buttons on a wireless keyboard by including the following in your Sway/i3 config:


bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ 5%"
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%"
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec "pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle"


Then, connect the keyboard's USB dongle and you're done. You're controlling volume.

That said, you can program those same volume buttons to open a terminal and display cowsay if you want to.

Well the _other_ solution I can recommend which I personally use in my Home is Home Assistant -- You can control all kinds of things with this, including custom fobs, remotes, buttons, whatever to do various things.
