Can the hotspot option be controlled with Termux?

[SDRausty]

The hotspot option is an awesome option in modern day smartphones. It's functionality is limited in Android. For example, a data connection is required to activate it. Can Termux overcome this Android limitation? What are the methods to accomplish wifi-hotspot control in Termux?

I need this too. Simply turn on or off hotspot from termux.

@god-pro did you try if it works on Termux? The project you mentioned is not maintained anymore, but there are two forks linked on that page.

this is absolutely needed. There are certain models that don't work with ngrok (ie: for exposing ssh tunnels) w/o the hotspot enabled.

So there should be a way to turn on/off the hotspost

There should be an option to disable automatically turning off hotspot if no devices are connected or a timeout option in hotspot settings.

This would be amazing for my scripting!

I would assume that Termux-API would toggle the system hotspot, meaning that it would use the settings defined in the Android hotspot settings.

Did you ever figure this out? I just need to be able to turn the hotspot on via script in termux.
