User: In that AppleScript, I'm not sure what name to put for "theDevice" and "deviceName". Can you give me a clue what it might be or where to find it?
Assistant: To identify the correct names for `deviceName` and `theDevice` in your AppleScript when controlling HomeKit devices, follow these steps:

1. **Open the Home App**: Launch the Home app on your Mac or iPhone.

2. **Identify Your Devices**: Look at the list of devices you have set up. The names displayed here will be what you need to reference in your AppleScript. Each accessory or room will have a unique name. For example, if you have a light in the living room called "Living Room Light", that is the name you would use.

3. **Name Formatting**: Make sure to use the exact name as it appears in the Home app, including any spaces or punctuation. For instance:
   - If your device is named "Kitchen Light", you would use `"Kitchen Light"` as your `deviceName`.
   - If you want to toggle a device in the living room called "Living Room Lamp", your line for `deviceName` would be `"Living Room Lamp"`.

4. **Test the Script**: Once you have identified the correct name, you can modify the script as follows:
   ```applescript
   on run argv
       set deviceName to item 1 of argv -- This will be passed as an argument when you run the script
       tell application "Home"
           set theDevice to (first home accessory whose name is deviceName) -- Finds the device based on the name
           if theDevice is not missing value then
               if (state of theDevice) is "off" then
                   turn on theDevice
               else
                   turn off theDevice
               end if
           end if
       end tell
   end run
   ```
   When you run the script, you will pass the name of your device as an argument, for example by invoking it as: 
   ```
   Toggle Device "Living Room Light"
   ```
   
5. **Invoking Command in Raycast**: When using Raycast, invoke your command and specify the name in quotes as mentioned above. If you have multiple devices, ensure to test it with each name to confirm it's working as expected.

6. **Debugging**: If you encounter issues, make sure that the names match exactly and check for any typos or casing differences, as AppleScript is case-sensitive.

By following these steps, you'll be able to identify and use the correct names for your HomeKit devices in your scripts!
User: I'm getting this error: Reason: /Users/minim2/Documents/Raycast Commands/toggle-device.applescript:431:435: script error: Expected class name but found identifier. (-2741) Domain: scripts Time: 06:52:44.579
Assistant:  error message you're encountering suggests that there may be a syntax issue in your AppleScript code, possibly due to how you're referencing the HomeKit device. Let's address a few points to help you troubleshoot the problem.

### Things to Check and Adjust in Your Script

1. **Correct Script Structure**: Make sure your script follows the proper AppleScript syntax. Referencing "Home" may not be correct if you're using the AppleScript interface directly without proper declarations. The script should look like this:

   ```applescript
   on run argv
       set deviceName to item 1 of argv -- This gets the name of the device passed in
       tell application "Home"
           -- Check if the accessory exists
           set theDevice to (first home accessory whose name is deviceName)
           if theDevice is not missing value then
               -- Check the current state of the device and toggle it
               if (state of theDevice) is "off" then
                   turn on theDevice
               else
                   turn off theDevice
               end if
           else
               display dialog "Device not found." -- Helps debug missing devices
           end if
       end tell
   end run
   ```

2. **Ensure HomeKit Permissions**: Make sure you've allowed the script to control your HomeKit devices. Sometimes, macOS may prevent scripts from interacting with certain applications for security reasons. You can check your System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab, and ensure that your terminal or scripting editor has access to control your Home devices.

3. **Print Debugging**: Add some `log` statements or use `display dialog` statements in your script to debug the values being sent and the state of your device. For instance:
   ```applescript
   log "Looking for device: " & deviceName
   ```

4. **Choosing the Right Properties**: Ensure that you are accessing the properties that exist for your HomeKit accessories. The command `state of theDevice` may not apply if you're not targeting the correct property or if your device isn't being recognized correctly.

5. **Testing Device Names**: As an additional debug step, consider hardcoding a known device name into the script first, like this:
   ```applescript
   set deviceName to "Living Room Light" -- Use an exact name from the Home App
   ```
   This allows you to test whether the issue lies with how you are passing the argument versus naming conventions.

6. **Consult Documentation**: Finally, check the AppleScript dictionary for the Home app (if available) to ensure you're accessing the properties and methods correctly. You can access the dictionary by opening the Script Editor, going to File > Open Dictionary, and selecting the Home app.

### Example of a Hardcoded Test Script
You might want to test with a hardcoded device name to see if it works:

```applescript
on run
    set deviceName to "Living Room Light" -- Replace with a known device name
    tell application "Home"
        set theDevice to (first home accessory whose name is deviceName)
        if theDevice is not missing value then
            if (state of theDevice) is "off" then
                turn on theDevice
            else
                turn off theDevice
            end if
        else
            display dialog "Device not found."
        end if
    end tell
end run
```

Running this script will let you know if the specific device name works without relying on external inputs.

### Conclusion
By checking these elements, you should be able to identify and resolve the syntax error you're encountering. If the issue persists, please share the exact line in your script where the error is occurring for further assistance!
