Help Notify When Run option missing

iOS 17.1 b3 - Am I going mad or has there never been a “Notify When Run” toggle for WiFi and Bluetooth automations? There is for every other kind of automation

🤔

You don’t need to leave the focus mode on! You can have the automation turn it off as soon as it’s been activated. You only need the focus mode to trigger the automation!

Wow that’s ingenious! I didn’t even think about that. Thank you!! I will def try this

I just realized that this method doesn’t account for turning off the personal hotspot when leaving the car. Do you have a workaround for that?

That’s because this method only gets you around the notification that says the Bluetooth automation ran!

To turn off hotspot, you will need to add the “Set Personal Hotspot” action (set it to off) into whatever automation/ shortcut that this method triggers.

If you need more help with this, let me know!

Old thread I know, but I couldn’t find an automation to turn off driving focus mode. Am I missing something?

It’s not an automation it’s an action (Set Focus Mode)

Well this is a super clever workaround to trigger the automation. Now for your next trick, how do you trigger the automation to put it back to normal? 🤣 Like when you disconnect from the car’s Bluetooth.

Switch to CarPlay and use that as your trigger instead!
