Define “get the right [device].” I don’t know what that means. If you tell me how you do it now, manually, I can probably tell you how to automate it. I can automate nearly anything, but I need to know what the requirement/problem is.

Hi, @De-Multimediahoek . You can refer to the following macro for ideas. Or it might fulfill your needs as is.
PURPOSE
This macro/subroutine, when executed from another macro using the Execute a Macro action, sets the Macintosh Sound Output to a specified name. This can include Apple HomePods and other AirPlay devices.
Note that this shortcut uses AppleScript that automates the User Interface, specifically the System Preferences (Monterey or earlier) or System Settings (Ventura+). See Automating the User Interface (Mac Automation Scripting Guide: Automating the User Interface ) for more information.
