Toggle Wifi

[phil]

Copy the script below into DisplayDroid's editor window and choose 'Set Default'.

When a Display is connected or disconnected, the script will run (see comments at the beginning of the script for more details).




#Adapted from here: http://techyvish.com/apple-script-to-change-wifi-toggle-wifi/

#This will turn your wifi OFF when you disconnect a display , and ON when you connect one
#replace  "removed" with "added" if you want the opposite effect

#IMPORTANT: you must supply the Wifi name (SSID) and its password or the script will throw a runtime error

on toggleWifi(value, device)
do shell script ("/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower " & device & " " & value)
end toggleWifi

set airPortDevice to do shell script "/usr/sbin/networksetup -listallhardwareports | awk '{if($3==\"Wi-Fi\"){getline;print}}' | awk '{print $2}'"

if displayState = "removed" then
   toggleWifi("off", airPortDevice)
   set apStatus to false
else
   toggleWifi("on", airPortDevice)
   set apStatus to true
   do shell script ("networksetup -setairportnetwork en1 '<your SSID>' <your wifi password>")
end if
