Best way to handle Bluetooth across multiple devices?
Discussion
Morning all,
Once upon a time, I had a Bluetooth headset, and it connected to my phone when I turned it on, my gran thought I was watching too much Star Trek, and life was simple.
Nowadays, my phone connects to headphones, but also my car and to my watch.
I also use the headphones with my tablet and my laptop. This is frequently a pain in the backside as one device will hang on to a connection, another won't pick it up, etc.
Windows and the car are both pretty dumb devices, but is anyone aware of an android widget I can set up on a home screen to toggle a Bluetooth connection to a specific device?
It's easy to just turn Bluetooth itself on and off off course, but I don't want to do that, as I then lose the connection to my watch, which I want on all the time, and its a pain having to go through so many steps in Android Pie to connect or disconnect a specific device.

I've been trying a Bluetooth manager app on my phone. Limited success so far. I want my phone to prioritise connections based on !y rules.
Watch, else car , else other car. Limited success so far. App keeps crashing. Also it doesn't seem to disconnect one for another, only using the priority list after a disconnect.
An annoying Bluetooth limitation.
