Hey folks,

Use this topic to share your scripts (or links to them) you are using in Go Hass Agent for the script sensor feature!

Webcam in use

The built-in PipeWire-based webcam usage detection apparently only works for certain apps, so I built my own solution that polls /dev/video* with lsof to check for usage, ignoring persistent usage by processes like PipeWire and WirePlumber.

Being a polling solution, it's obviously slower than a solution based on PipeWire or DBus events would be, but it has the advantage of working across all desktop environments.

Audio output

Creates a sensor containing the "nick" (human-friendly name) of the current default sink according to WirePlumber (via wpctl).

I use this for an "Audio output" card on my desk dashboard.
