There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.

How do you do it?

My priorities are:

Top priority

Turn off

Amazing to have

Volume controls
Pause/play

Nice to have

monitoring state (on/off)

I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.

So, how do you deal with these things?

Windows only but does pack a pretty nice set of features: https://hassagent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Looks good, but seems a bit outdated? Are you using it?

The original dev has gone silent indeed, but a team of volunteers resumed development recently. So I wouldn't call it outdated, but we'll see if they'll keep up the good work for long.

I've been using it for more than a year to automate a few stuff, it's been good for this purpose so yeah I would recommend it :)
