So this may be difficult to explain, but in the app "Automateit," you can tell the bluetooth to turn off WHEN a device is disconnected. I've switched to tasker to try it out but I can't figure out a way to accomplish the same thing. It only seems to have an option to keep checking to see if Bluetooth is connected and if it's not (after like 3 minutes or whatever you choose), THEN it turns off. As in, sometimes it doesn't turn off till 3 minutes after I've disconnected from a device. 

Anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Create a profile with context >State>Net>BT connected and tickbthe invert box.
Leave the name and address fields empty. Unless you want it specific to a device.
Then in the task, select action Task>Wait
And choose however many seconds/minutes you want.
This profile will become active once the device is disconnected.
Alternatively you can add the same task actions as an exit task (long hold the task with a green arrow pointing right and select exit task)
Hope this helps

Awesome! That did help. The one thing I had to do differently was long press the profile name, go to settings (visible when beginner mode is disabled) and un-tick "Restore Settings."

Now there is another problem though... A lot of times, when I turn Bluetooth on, it immediately turns back off. Sometimes I wake up and turn BT on so that when I get in my car, it will automatically connect. But now, I turn it on and it turns right back off. I only want it to automatically turn off AFTER being disconnected from a device, not before I connect it. Do you know how I can accomplish this?
