activate application "SystemUIServer"
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "SystemUIServer"
		-- Working CONNECT Script.  Goes through the following:
		-- Clicks on Bluetooth Menu (OSX Top Menu Bar)
		--    => Clicks on SX-991 Item
		--      => Clicks on Connect Item
		set btMenu to (menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 whose description contains "bluetooth")
		tell btMenu
			click
			tell (menu item "Airpods" of menu 1)
				click
				if exists menu item "Connect" of menu 1 then
					click menu item "Connect" of menu 1
					return "Connecting..."
				else if exists menu item "Disconnect" of menu 1 then
					click menu item "Disconnect" of menu 1
					return "Disconnecting..."
				else
					click btMenu -- Close main BT drop down if Connect wasn't present
					return "Connect menu was not found, are you already connected?"
				end if
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end tell
