Is there a way to make a apple shortcut automatically disable Bluetooth if no devices are connected but also act as a toggle for re enabling Bluetooth?

i think with the automations you can do that

There isn’t a way to check if you’re connected to a Bluetooth device through automations :/.
The best you can do is set an action after you connect/disconnect from a known Bluetooth device

There is, get ToolBox Pro. Test for if bluetooth is on and what speaker is currently active. If its Speaker, toggle it off. Use various apps you constantly use as a trigger to combat it turning itself back on all the time.

I use Better Touch Tool for this as well as a number of other shortcuts, text replacement, screen snapping, etc.

I just turn mine off from the control center menu, swipe down from top right corner. It’s already so simple, why is a shortcut needed at all?

that's just a temporary toggle

Oops I forgot temporary.
I just found this tutorial and tried it and it works. I had to create two shortcuts, one for OFF and the other for ON

/// Edit /// There is a
Toggleoption in the Set Bluetooth action which allows for a single shortcut instead of two distinct On/Offabhibeckert@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Can you step back and explain why you want it disabled? What's the actual problem you're trying to fix?

save battery

Does it actually save battery? Genuine question. I did this like 10 years ago but now, I don’t think Bluetooth drains significant battery. I only expect a 1-3% drain over 24 hours.

it does when it's constantly scanning for devices

Here must some sort of IFTTT action for this.
