Bluetooth device routine malfunctioning

[lucianb]

I've set a routine so that when I connect my PS5 controller to my S25 via bluetooth it opens a game launcher app.

It works, but for some reason the routine triggers whenever I connect to any other Bluetooth device.

Any idea why and how to fix it?

There is a chance the routine is set to trigger on all bluetooth devices

* Go to Settings > Modes and Routines > Routines
* Edit your routine
* In the “If” condition section, tap Bluetooth device connected
* Select your PS5 controller by name — not just “any device”
* Save

If the controller doesn’t appear, connect it once via Bluetooth before setting the routine

Alternatively, can use apps like MacroDroid or Tasker:
* Trigger: Bluetooth Device Connected → Select PS5 controller
* Action: Launch Game Launcher

I do have the controller selected by name

Unpair / Forget the controller via bluetooth, delete the existing routine, and create a new routine.

Double check trigger is setup like:

If > Bluetooth device is connected

Should give you two options;
1. Any device
2. Specific device (select this)

Worst case there may be some other conflicting routine that uses bluetooth

If still nothing, can alternatively setup via MacroDroid via "Match MAC Address"
