This is kind of a big deal for people who are into automations.

Prior to iOS 17, user had to confirm automations triggered by Bluetooth every time (probably for security reasons).

That’s no longer a case with iOS 17.

      Didn’t know this app. It looks amazing an really useful for someone without CarPlay like me, especially if this new change sticks around for the final release of iOS 17. Thanks for the share!

    I wonder if this applies to security actions like unlocking/opening doors. I wanted my Bluetooth enabled garage door to open when I approached my house but it required a confirmation.

      Same, it will be interesting to test. I’ll check it out this week.

      Yes. I think wifi trigger didn’t require confirmation even in 16 but to answer your question, yes, wifi can trigger automation without confirmation.
