Default [Q] Tasker Help - Wifi Near

I have create a profile Home

State > Wifi Near > MyWifi

Tasks > Entry - Wifi On, Exit - Wifi Off

When I enter my house it doesn't work I have to manually activate wifi, then I can see the profile is active. When I leave the house it switches off the wifi as programmed.

What am I doing wrong should the wifi be in sleep mode?

Cheers

When you turn of wifi it can't scan for wifi near.Try using cell near, then it scans for celltower.Or location

Default Try Cell Near instead

Are you using the scan function in Cell Near? It should retrieve the ID of the closest cell tower with a value following a slash:

CDMA: 99999 / 8

Try changing the value to a wild card:

CDMA: 99999 / *

I have been using the following to turn WIFI on and off:

Add a new Profile and select State. Then select Cell Near and click the Scan button to find which Cell Towers are near your current location. Check the Invert button. Add a Task to for WIFI and set to Off.

Duplicate this profile and uncheck Invert and set WIFI to On.

Default Confirm Cell Towers

You can confirm the Cell Tower ID by downloading one of these free Apps:

Antennas
Cell Tower Locator

You will want to use the BSID number listed in one of these Apps in Tasker for Cell Near.
