On my Samsung phone, I can use Bixby to automatically turn my phone's volume to zero when it's out of range of my home wifi network, also have it automatically turn on the mobile wifi hotspot when it connects via Bluetooth with my car's infotainment system, and do the reverse when I get home & shut the car off. I am thinking about buying a Google Pixel 6 Pro but also want to be able to run those routines on it. I've looked at some of the automated routines in Assistant but can't find any way to trigger a routine when it connects or disconnects from wifi or BT. Is there any way to do this in Assistant?

I'm looking for an app (probably Tasker, but hopefully not $6!) that will invoke a profile (for instance) when I connect to a specific bluetooth device, or when car home is opened. Car Home (and every Car Home app I can find) is missing this simple option.
For instance, I have the Google Car Home set to open automatically whenever my phone is connected to the bluetooth in my car. Great. Only problem is I can't force the brightness, volume, sleep setting, etc., that I want at the same time. I would love to have Profile Valet invoke a specific profile when I am connected to a specific bluetooth device or when Car Home is open, but I don't see options as such.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!
I believe "Setting Profiles"can use BT connections to trigger profile changes.

No idea about your phone's bluetooth turning on by itself, but if it's off, I don't know how a bluetooth device could make your phone activate it.
The bluetooth on the watch can be turned off by using airplane mode, but of course this also disables wifi. So your watch won't receive any data.
Being able to turn off bluetooth while leaving wifi on would be a good option, but you can't. When on wifi, the watch keeps trying to find the original bluetooth connection.

If you put it in to Airplane mode then reenable WiFi it'll keep the WiFi on while leaving the bluetooth disabled

Good information, and quite unintuitive. I'll have to try that out for battery life.
I think you already got the answer. Here is the user guide for Sony Smart Watch 3. I hope you will find it help you.

Hi,
I want to keep BT enabled on my SGS7 but also I no need to have watch connected all the time (annoying notifications). For example, I am at home and I need BT to control light in room but I no need phone to be connected with Huawei watch. How to disconnect watch (temporary) but keep BT enabled?
P.S I don't want to unpair watch because I need to quick connect after I leave house (manualy).
I used to use Secure Settings in a Tasker profile to disconnect my watch while on a phone call and reconnect when the call was over. You could probably do the same thing based on your location (at home or away).

My focus isn't automatic switching, but keeping BT enabled while watch is disconnected. I want to manualy connect/disconnect watch. There must be native option for that, but I can't find.
Now it works like this:
I enable BT on my phone -> Huawei watch connect to phone automaticly.
And I want:
I enable BT on phone -> watch stay disconnected. I manualy connect watch with phone when I need, and disconnect when I no need watch anymore. So I can use phone BT to do other things.
I've never done it, but Tasker can create a widget that would let you run the toggle profile manually.

Android Wear app on phone.
Gear symbol upper right
Touch :"HUAWEI WATCH connected"
Toggle "Connected" slider off
That leave phone BT on and does not require repairing watch, just slide it back on and the watch reconnects.

Hi all,
Recently bought my first android head unit, from Erisin.
Everything works great, just had a few newbie questions.
Its running Android 10 and I am using Car Launcher Pro.
I have my S20 Ultra routine set up to automatically start my phone wireless hotspot so the head unit has Internet connectivity.
1. How do I create speed dial buttons? Opening the phone app and searching through the phone book while driving is distracting.
2. Although I am yet to hook up my reverse camera, I noticed that everytime I put it in reverse, the music stops. How do I keep music playing (I'm using spotify)?
3. What is speedplay? Each time I open Torque it automatically opens this SpeedPlay and switches focus. Its a PITA. Can I safely uninstall it?
I just got my first Android HU also - I went to Nova7 launcher for more control over the aesthetics and layout, and really like the change so far.
On mine, there is a setting in the Android settings menu for the music pause during reverse camera input.
Is ZLINK included in your list of pre-installed applications? It's what I'm using for wireless CarPlay (does AA also) - and allows me to use Siri to initiate calls handsfree from the address book. Mine pairs with the phone automatically upon startup.
I'm on miui 13 and I have annoying issues, the device's bluetooth which unable to auto connect with car's head unit. The only way out is to unpair then pair them again. That being said, if bluetooth turned off, it can auto connect as long as car's engine still on. That did not happen to miui 12.5 which rapidly auto-connect. Anybody has any idea how to fix this?
BMW NBT?
I also have this problem. With iphone works properly.
I managed to get it fixed by putting the car audio in bluetooth connection mode, go to bluetooth app then toggle allow fullscreen app. In connect state it will disconnect then reconnect. In our case, it'll force connect to nearby previously connected device. That leaves another issue, which is media info won't update. So we kinda stuck with first song info or podcast title, then it won't refresh. Probably due to xiaomi policy to limit data transfer or simply unresolved bug. Luckily I have Samsung device which I use most of the time in this regard.
