Is there a way to create a shortcut to have Bluetooth turn on at a certain time?
 
Yeah. You want to make a personal automation (the second tab at the bottom), do it at a Time of Day, and then use the Set Bluetooth action.

Ask Before Running will be toggled on to begin with. Turn that off so it actually works.
 
Well interesting this only works when have Bluetooth to turn off at night but doesn’t turn on in the morning... I have it to turn in the mornings.

Do you use Do Not Disturb? I'm thinking you'd have to schedule it just after that turns off because of it sending you a notification of it happening. They probably don't want people doing automations with silent notifications...

Alright. I was just reading that it wasn't going to work over at the subreddit they have for it, but I just did an automation for both and it worked as it's supposed to, so let us know...

okay after having the disturb off and sleep off the automation still doesn't work in turning Bluetooth on in the mornings, it works at turning it off at night but the morning one doesn't work.
 
Today some people over at the Reddit are saying their morning automations are broken. :rolleyes:

Otherwise yesterday I tried doing the two between three hours and when that went fine, did 9PM to 6AM and that went okay aswell.

I don't know what else to tell you. Hopefully 14.2 fixes it.

Okay, thank you for the help. I'm sure next few updates it will get fixed.

All the best!
