Bluetooth / data Trigger

Besides wifi and location Trigger, what other triggers can I use to turn on BT and Data when I leave my home. Need BT on when I get in car. Wifi disconnected Trigger works great for Data, but not BT. Will location Trigger kill the battery by Constantly checking my Location? Thanks!

Hi,

Why does WiFi disconnected trigger not work for BT? Is there some kind of error?

Regards,
Martin

Works ok to turn it on, but turning off when reconnect to wifi seems to fail alot. Might be doing something wrong. I have two separate flows. One to turn on when disconnected from my wifi, second to turn off when reconnecting.

How does it fail? Could you please turn on Debug Log in the preferences of Automagic and send the log to me when it failed again (Menu->Manage->Log, Menu->Send Log)?

Thanks!

As I recall, I had similar issues. Insert a sleep of a few seconds to allow Wifi changes to settle, and then action the BT change. Maybe some phones use shared hardware and get upset when you try and make too many changes at the same time. Try it - might work ;-)
