I tested on iPhone SE 2020 and 5 seconds was just enough. NOTE: Wait time from step 2 may be different for your device. In step 3 you can choose your default playback device or select Ask Each Time option in order to select manually every time. If you skip this step the shortcut will likely terminate its execution with no effect. Thanks to step 2 your device has time to activate bluetooth and scan for nearby bluetooth devices. Scripting -> Device -> Set Playback Destination.And when you're done, turn it off and run the disconnect/unpair action.You can set up such a Shortcut starting from iOS 14.0 in just three steps. Now when you turn your bluetooth device on, simply use your keyboard shortcut to pair/connect. The new actions should be under General if you set to receive no input. Set up keyboard bindings to the Automator quick actions with System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Services.You can confirm your scripts are working by monitoring System Preferences → Bluetooth and using the Run button in Automator, before proceeding to the next step.

Note I found I needed to include full path for Automator's shell to find blueutil, perhaps because it is not being run interactively. Create two scripts that contain blueutil commands to pair/connect and unpair/disconnect to your bluetooth device. Use Automator (or any similar application) → Quick Actions → Run Shell Script with workflow set to receive no input and work in any application.So I came up with this solution for Bluetooth devices that are so problematic that you need to disconnect and unpair every time.

Obviously didn't want to have to reboot my Mac every time I wanted to connect headphones. plist files, etc.), other than reboot, could fix it. reset bluetooth module, Bluetooth → Debug, delete. In fact, connecting to my headphones totally messed up the Bluetooth module to the point where it couldn’t be turned on/off, and none of the traditional solutions (e.g. This could be due to the shoddy implementation of Bluetooth on my cheap headphones, probably not uniquely due to Big Sur. But after Big Sur (currently on 11.4), neither DontPageAudioDevices nor adding to IgnoredDevices worked for me. I originally came to this post before Big Sur and back then adding my headphones’ MAC address to the list of IgnoredDevices (see answer from Kiyose) worked.

By headphones were pretty cheap and I discovered that my Macbook Pro 2019's initial connection for auto-pairing was terrible (audio consistently skipped), but after disconnecting and reconnecting it was fine. I have Bluetooth headphones for which none of the previous solutions worked. If this is not possible, can I prevent OS X from switching my audio automatically when connecting to the Bluetooth audio adapter? How can I make OS X automatically connect to my trackpad and keyboard at work but not automatically connect to the bluetooth audio adapter at home?Ĭurrently, I shut Bluetooth off when I get home, but I'd like to avoid toggling Bluetooth when I get home/when I get to work, since it is quite annoying to start typing on the wireless keyboard and have nothing happen, or not have audio when I get home. If Bluetooth is on, my audio will automatically be routed to the Bluetooth adapter (which is something I rarely want). When I get to work, my Mac automatically connects to both of them (if Bluetooth is on).Īt home, I have a Belkin F8Z492-P Bluetooth Audio Adapter hooked up to my stereo (sorry, no product page available). I have a Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13" running OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite).Īt work, I have a Apple Magic Trackpad and an Apple Wireless Keyboard, both which use Bluetooth.
