I have two automations.
1- When CarPlay connects, Turn Hotspot On.
I do this for my daughter’s device to connect automatically. This works just fine.
The problem is with my second automation.
2- When iPhone joins “[MyHomeWiFiNetwork]”, Turn Hotspot Off.
this one never works and all I get is a notification about the automation with an option to Run. So it kinda works because it’s asks if I want the automation to run. It just doesn’t run it!

Greetings vickomf1,
Have you checked to make sure the automation is set to run without asking? If not, you may want to start there. Here are those steps: Enable or disable a personal automation in Shortcuts on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
Some personal automations can run without asking you for confirmation when they’re triggered.
1. In the Shortcuts appon your iOS or iPadOS device, tap Automation
.
2. Tap the automation you want to run automatically.
3. Turn off Ask Before Running, then tap Don’t Ask to confirm your choice.
4. Tap Done.
The automation will not notify you when it’s triggered.
The following automations can be run automatically:
- Time of Day
- Alarm
- Sleep
- CarPlay
- Apple Watch Workout
- NFC
- App
- Airplane Mode
- Do Not Disturb
- Low Power Mode
- Battery Level
- Charger
Note: You also may need to set individual actions to run automatically.
The following automations cannot be run automatically:
- Arrive
- Leave
- Before I Commute
- Message
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
Best wishes!
Hotspot Automation
