The full story
The owner wanted a dashboard button that connects a phone to an Amazon Echo over Bluetooth, so music in the bedroom would go through the Echo. Over about two days, working with Claude and Grok, they found Claude quicker on the code.
Claude came up with a design needing only four buttons: the scripts detect which phone the press came from, connect it to the chosen Echo and launch YouTube Music. The owner tidied the dashboard with a navigation bar and shared the full scripts and card code.
