Switching Connections between Multiple Bluetooth Devices

Post by devilshady » 17 Oct 2013 06:02

Hey there,

I have two bluetooth devices which i frequently use. My Bluetooth Headset (for calls and music) and my car bluetooth (for music only).

The functions that im looking for is :

1) Trigger : Incoming call. Action: start bluetooth, connect to headset.
2) Trigger : Incoming call ended. Action: disconnect headset, turn off bluetooth.
3) Trigger : Outcoing call. Action: start bluetooth, connect to headset.
4) Trigger : Outgoing call ended. Action:disconnect headset, turnoff bluetooth.
5) Trigger : Incoming call. Condition: Connected to car bluetooth. Action:disconnect from car bluetooth and connected to headset bluetooth.

Functions 1-4 work perfectly but the 5th seems to be very tricky.
As consolation ive tried starting a bluetooth manager app to force a connection to my headset bluetooth, but its buggy as well and doesnt always work. Can someone shed some light on this?
I have some screenshots/xmls of the flows if needed

Hi,

Perhaps the device needs some time when the car bluetooth is disconnected before connecting to the headset.
Please try to add an action 'Sleep: 5s' between the two actions.

What kind of error do you get when the flow fails?

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

There is no error in the log as the flow is perfectly executed, its just that it cant seem to identify the specific device. For example, when using function 1 and its triggered, my phone may connect to any bluetooth device ( which i had previously paired with ) instead of the one address specified.

On function 5, it will disconnect from the car and reconnect again to the car making me manually switch devices to talk.

Is there a bluetooth app, when launched it will force connection to one specific device only?

Can you share the flow in the forum or send the flow to me (menu->Send Flow to info@automagic4android.com)?

There exist several apps to auto connect to bluetooth devices:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... utoconnect
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ndroid.bac
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... obluetooth

I have not tested the listed apps.
