<pre class="header-style">The Bluetooth Event trigger fires when the Bluetooth state changes on the device. It can be configured to fire when Bluetooth is enabled or disabled, or when connected to or disconnected from a specific Bluetooth device.</pre>
''' Options '''
'''Example Usage'''<br/>
Bluetooth is enabled
* '''Bluetooth Enabled''' - Trigger fires when Bluetooth is turned on
* '''Bluetooth Disabled''' - Trigger fires when Bluetooth is turned off
* '''Device Connected''' - Trigger fires when a Bluetooth device connects
* '''Device Disconnected''' - Trigger fires when a Bluetooth device disconnects
''' Device Selection '''
When selecting "Device Connected" or "Device Disconnected", you can specify which device to monitor:
</pre><br>
* '''Any Device''' - Trigger fires for any Bluetooth device connection/disconnection
* '''Specific Device''' - Choose from a list of paired devices. The list shows the device alias/name and MAC address.
If Bluetooth is currently disabled when configuring the trigger, you will be prompted to enable it so that paired devices can be listed.
''' Magic Text '''
When this trigger fires for device connection/disconnection events, the following information is available via magic text:
* The name of the connected/disconnected Bluetooth device {bluetooth_device_name}
''' Examples '''
''Example 1: Set Media Volume for Speaker''
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
Device Connected (Anker Speaker)</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Volume Change: Media Volume to 50%</pre>
''Example 2: Disable Bluetooth at Night''
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
Bluetooth Enabled</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Disable Bluetooth</pre>
<pre class="constraint-style">Constraints
Time of Day: 11:00 PM - 6:00 AM</pre>
''' Notes '''
* The trigger listens for system broadcasts: ACTION_STATE_CHANGED for Bluetooth on/off, and ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED/ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED for device connections
* Device selection shows both the device alias (user-defined name) and the device's MAC address for identification
* Only paired devices are shown in the selection list
* The trigger uses a shared receiver for efficiency when multiple macros use Bluetooth triggers
''' Permissions Required '''
* '''Bluetooth Connect''' - Required on Android 12+ (BLUETOOTH_CONNECT permission)
