How to get my microphone status on discord - discord

Question

I am creating light for desk, this light will be green when my microphone is active on Discord, and red when my microphone is muted. So I want to get my microphone status from discord. But I don't know-how.
How to get my microphone status from discord when I am not in a voice chat too?
I know how to get microphone status when I am sitting on voice chat but I want to get this information the whole time.
Thanks.

You can use Client#voiceStateUpdate to detect when you change if you are muted or not.
client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldState, newState) => {
if (oldState.member.user.id !== "youridhere") return // make sure its only checking for your microhpone
if (newState.mute) { // check if mic is muted
setLightColor("red") //if true make light red
} else {
setLightColor("green") //if false make light green
}
})

I finally found a way to do this !
I made a custom Node.js app using rpcord.
It requires a registered discord app (no need to validate it). You will have to manually link it to Discord using the URL Generator with the rpc and rpc.voice.read scopes, then copy/paste the Client ID, Client Secret and Discord Token in the constants.
The app will run a command every time the Discord voice settings change. In my case, it changes the color of a key on my Logitech keyboard, but you can adapt it to your own needs.
const { RPClient, RPCEvent, Presence } = require("rpcord");
const { exec } = require("child_process");
const CLIENT_ID = 'YOUR APP CLIENT ID';
const CLIENT_SECRET = 'YOUR APP CLIENT SECRET';
const DEFAULT_COLOR = '004f8b';
const DISCORD_TOKEN = 'YOUR DISCORD TOKEN';
exec(`g815-led -a ${DEFAULT_COLOR}`);
const rpc = new RPClient(CLIENT_ID, {
secret: CLIENT_SECRET,
scopes: ["rpc", "rpc.voice.read"],
});
function run(cmd) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
exec(cmd, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
if (error) return reject(error)
if (stderr) return reject(stderr)
resolve(stdout)
})
})
}
rpc.on("ready", () => {
console.log("Connected!");
});
rpc.connect().then(() => {
rpc.authenticate(DISCORD_TOKEN).then(() => {
rpc.getVoiceSettings().then(voiceSettings => {
console.log(voiceSettings);
});
rpc.subscribe(RPCEvent.VoiceSettingsUpdate).then((...args) => {
console.log('subscribed !');
rpc.on('voiceSettingsUpdate', async (voiceSettings) => {
console.log('voice update', voiceSettings);
if (voiceSettings.mute) {
await run('g815-led -k g1 ff0000');
}
else {
await run(`g815-led -k g1 ${DEFAULT_COLOR}`);
}
if (voiceSettings.deaf) {
await run('g815-led -k g2 ff0000');
}
else {
await run(`g815-led -k g2 ${DEFAULT_COLOR}`);
}
});
});
});
});
