My car bluetooth device stays connected to my phone when I am home. I know I can simply toggle on and off my bluetooth, but I forget to do it every single time and it drives me nuts. Is there an app that automatically turns off bluetooth when you connect to your home wifi?
iPhone 5, iOS 9.2.1
Unfortunately, there isn't anyway to automatically turn off Bluetooth.
You should be able to leave Bluetooth enabled on your iPhone using Wi-Fi.
Thanks. It just bothers me because I'll leave it on, and then someone will call and it will ring/answer in my car rather than my phone. Then I'll turn the bluetooth off and forget to turn it on when I get back in the car causing problems. I just don't use it enough to think about turning it on/off each time.
That is really strange, unless your car is still running and / or the bluetooth device in your car does not turn off when you turn off your car. Mine automatically disconnects from it when the car is turned off. It also stops the music being played.
Also, Bluetooth has a limited range, so if you are more than a few feet away from the car, it should also disconnect.
What type of Bluetooth device do you have exactly? Why is it not turning off when you turn off your car?
Mine is a separate device (car is older). It is a Jara tour which works well, but the range is 35-40 feet. When my car is in the garage, I am usually within that range in my house. Even upstairs it stays connected.
Then rewire to take power to the Jura only when the ignition is on ,as Phil0124 has suggested
You appear to have it wired to a permanently live feed in the vehicle
The Jabra Tour is supposed to have an Auto On/Off setting.
AUTO ON/OFF
When you get in your car, Jabra Tour automatically turns on using its built-in motion sensor. Likewise, it will turn off by itself after you park and leave your car.

It would appear its not correctly identifying the fact you have left the car. Seems something to consult with Jabra about.
Thanks! I looked at the manual and it does say this, but it then says
"NOTE: After the Jabra Tour and a mobile phone have been paired they will automatically connect whenever the Jabra Tour is switched on and the mobile phone has bluetooth activated and is within range."
I emailed support and they said if I am range, it will stay connected.
Is there any iphone app that will disable bluetooth on my phone when I connect to my home wifi?
There are a lot of android apps that can do this, but apple likes to put a lot of restrictions on what is allowed in their apps. I don't believe there is an app on the iphone capable of this.
