No, it won't really help. It only works if I start at work or at home. If at some point between the bluetooth is turned off (because I leave the car to go shopping) it won't be switched on again when the next cell tower comes in range after driving on.

Sorry to say, but you do not need to be on the move to change the tower, so just create a timer to activate Bluetooth in period whenever you're outside / within the areas delimited by you.

The way you are planning the simple fact out of the car could change the tower and turning on the bluetooh again.


You can use a flow like this to store the cell ID every 5 minutes in a global variable and compare the value with another previously stored identifying whether changed tower.

Cell Update Flow:
-trigger Periodic Timer: 5m
-condition Phone Cell GSM: Connected to CIDs *
-->true: -action Script: global_cid=cid
