Not rooted pixel xl. I understand that hotspot toggle won't work without device being rooted and that's OK.
Now that being said, while hotspot is "on" and wifi is toggled "on" from tile drawer - it kills hotspot, however only when is done manually.
is there a way to forcefully toggle wifi trough tasker (for instance based upon geolocation) on thus killing hotpot automatically ?
thanks

Hello
I've set up several automated actions in Llama which work perfectly, except one! Llama doesn't disable the wifi when it should.
When I'm at work, it has to change the sound profile, and disable wifi (in the actions menu: wifi, wifi off). When the conditions are met the sound profile is changed as expected, but the wifi remains activated. I've also tried the 'wifi off if not connected' option and I get the same result.
If I use the 'test the action' button in Llama, the wifi is disabled, so the action is fine, it's just that the action is not perfomed automatically
Any idea?
I used to be able to toggle wifi on and off with power toggles or elixir or widgetziod and now I think I did something because now I can toggle on wifi but when I try to toggle wifi off it takes me to the wifi settings page.... Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have recently experimented with some battery saving type apps... if that helps
So I'm a big Tasker user and I use a 7" Android Tablet in my car as my "infotainment system." I have a Tasker profile that when connected to my Car's Bluetooth, turns on Wifi Hotspot and upon disconnection, turns off Wifi hotspot. I noticed that HotSpot was turning on without a problem, but not turning off.
I also have a Widget Button to toggle WiFi Hotspot on/off. Again, it will turn it on, but it doesn't turn it off. As a test, I also used the app Llama and added an action to turn Wifi Hotspot on and another to turn it off. Again, it was able to turn it on with no problem, but when trying to execute the "off" it gave me the error message "WiFiAccessPoint may not be supported by your phone."
This is really annoying since the only other way to turn it off is to go into phone settings, then More, then Wifi Hotspot, then untick "Hotspot" to turn it off.
Besides wondering if this is working on anyone else's phone, I'm wondering if anyone knows where to write or post such bugs for the Moto programmers to see...
FYI - So I found another bug related to this same issue. Besides 3rd Party Apps (Tasker, Widgetsoid, Llam, basically any app that toggles settings) not being able to turn WiFi off, IF they are used to turn it on then turning it off inside settings will not automatically turn Wifi back on as it should.
If you turn HotSpot on via the Moto HotSpot settings then turning it off will automatically cause wifi to turn back on.
Hoping Moto fixes this issue and allows full toggling of HotSpot via 3rd Party apps as this is really killing my automated in-car hotspot.
Sometimes when I am toggling my hotspot on or off it will cause my phone to reboot. Anyone else seeing this too? Any idea of what is going on or a solution?
When toggling from the device itself, there is no issue. But if I toggle from my android wear it can cause this issue. I've used wear mini launcher and WearTasker (tasker plugin for android wear) to toggle the hotspot, both of them will cause the reboot, but not always.
When I was still using my nexus 5, I used wear mini launcher to toggle and it didn't reboot the phone.
Mine did this also was using tasker and autoinput. How did you get tasker to work with wifi hotspot? Mine would fail when using the built in tasker option or secure settings, using auto input is the only way I've been able to make it work.
Edit
Nevermind I didn't realize wear mini launcher had a built in toogle for hopspot.
How can i toggle off Mobile Data automatically at night (11pm - 6am).
Tasker doesnt allow toggling mobile data with my OP 3T (Android 7)?
I tried AutoInput but it doesnt work.
Any ideas ?
i also tried an app called "sound profile" and IFTTT
I use AUTOMATE by Llamalab to do just that and other tasks. I have 5 main flows running,
1- Airplane mode 11pm to 7am.
2- Turn mobile data ON or OFF according if WiFi connected or not
3- If mobile data enabled switch to 2g when screen OFF and back to 3g/4g when screen unlocked
4- Only enable NFC when phone unlocked
5- Turn OFF bluetooth if no device connected
Its easy to learn its modular flow system and plenty of user flows shared through the app.
Download app from playstore called leandroid
it makes you able to do exactly that but not only for mobile data but for gps, wifi, bt, etc
Is this also available with a non root device?
