Hooking it all up with an Alfred workflow:

Little more of a write up of this -- https://kevinjalbert.com/bluetooth-connection-battery-script-for-macos/

Really sweet. I hooked it up to a touchbar button, feels really slick. Thanks!

@Lhadalo care to share how you did that? Is that still via Alfred or something else?

@kevinjalbert It is via BetterTouchTool. You can execute a AppleScript as an action, so I just in pasted your script.

Ah! Perfect.
