    Can PHLocation detect when phone is connected to bluetooth

    Is there anyway for PHLocation to tell when the phone is connected to Bluetooth? I know an app like Geofency can be used to detect connectivity to iBeacon, but how about bluetooth? Most cars already have bluetooth, so it'll be great if somehow we can detect bluetooth connectivity. Is that possible?

    Not directly because the plug-in only processes data sent by the mobile device.

    If you're using an Android device, then you can use Tasker (or similar app) to send data to the plug-in when the phone connects / disconnects to / from a given BT device and simulate a fence or BT beacon. This is how I do it.

    Not sure what if anything is available for iOS to achieve the same thing.
