Any "remote hotspot" invocation method via bluetooth or similar to allow the turning on/off of hotsp

Is there any plans for a "remote hotspot" invocation method via bluetooth or similar to allow the turning on/off of hotspot without removing the device from your backback?

 

I'm looking for something similar to the Windows phone link app / "instant hotspot".

 

I have a m6 pro

    You can only turn it OFF wirelessly/remotely via the Netgear Mobile app. To turn it back ON again, you will need to do it via the screen GUI, as you probably already know. There is no BT backdoor to turn WiFi back on. There is no actual remote method via web either that allows you to do this.
