Profile Home: if I'm near my home WiFi do Task Home.
Task Home: set data transfer to Off, set WiFi to On, say "Welcome home" and set Profile Home to Off.
What happens?
When setting profile Home to Off wifi is immediately switched off too.
Why do I want to set Profile Home to Off?
Moving around the house causes me to lose or switch between Wifi's (I've got an extender). This in turn runs Profile Home over and over again with all consequences.
Any ideas for a remedy?
Why does setting the profile to off switch the wifi off too?
Thnx.

is there a way if any program needs connection the wifi to turn on and after exit of the program the wifi to turn off (not waiting 2-3-4min if there is no usage to turn off then)?
I have turned off the wifi for the battery life reasons, so when I need it any time I have to go into comm.manager and so on....
I'm actually using phoneweaver (not free), you can set profiles to switch on/off wifi at specific times. I can turn wifi on, but for some reason can't turn it off automatically, guess I'm a bit dumb to set it correctly, but it works for me.
there's another software called wifilocations (free), it seems to turn on/off wifi based on cell id's, haven't tried it but might work for you
I personally have set a hardware button to act as Wifi on/off (with AEBPlus) and just toggle it with a double press when I need it and when I'm done.
There is a wifi button on the keyboard (right arrow button)
True, I usually forget about that one. But then, I don't want to open the phone to turn Wifi on/off.
Prepare for something magical...
Ok so this isn't magical, in fact, it's just another .cab that you can remapp a button to, that's what I have done and I just toggle wifi on and off using it. Here is the .cab.
Somewhat related but does anyone know if it's possible to turn the phone off but leave wi-fi on ? If I'm at home, I want to have Skype running and receive calls like general mobile calls. Would also like to be available with Messenger too

Download KaiserTweak, it has an option to keep wifi on during standby.
Perfect thanks however .......
Anyone know how I can run Skype and/or WLM in background ? They seem to shut when I click X on them

Check you don't have a 3rd party program or HTC task manager set to "close" instead of "minimize" when tapping X.
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?
Hello,
would you please kindly help me resolve Tasker issue I have on my rooted MIUI Mi4c running MIUI 7 by xiaomi.eu 6.1.21, 5.1.1 android.
I made a Home profile, that enables itself, when I'm connected to my home wifi (based on my SSID).
So I have "State" type profile - Wifi Connected.
I have following action to be performed when profile is activated:
1. Pattern Lock Disabled (via Secure settings) - So I don't have to unlock my phone while at home.
I have following actions to be performed when profile is deactivated (I disconnect from WIFI), when leaving home:
1. Pattern Lock Enable.
2. Disable WIFI (to save battery, when I'm away from my home wifi).
The problem is though, that since 2 weeks ago, it seems as the "disable" actions of my home profile is randomely from time to time activated - meaning, wifi keep switching itself off. I thought there is some problem with my router, but as soon as I removed wifi off action from profile, wifi no longer keep switching itself off.
I cannot see anything wrong from with my profile, nor can I see anything useable in Tasker log.
Any idea what's wrong? Or how to mend this?
Thanks in advance !
Hi
Often on my galaxy A5 2016 rooted I see that a task is active but it doesn't really active the function on my phone...
For example: I've a task to turn wifi on when I'm at home (based on location). Often the task is active (is green on tasker) but wifi isn't turned really on! Why this??

On my s8 I've had to turn on reliable alarms for when screen is of as I noticed that some profiles like turning Bluetooth on weren't working when the screen was off. Maybe that could help turning this on in the settings?

Maybe... but can you explain me better what alarms I must turn on?

Go to preferences > monitor > Use reliable alarms. I have mine set for screen off
Location is not a reliable trigger (never was for me).
Try using variables. These are better.
For example.
I'm using 2 variables to CONFIRM I'm at home and trigger my home profile.
First... I use Cell near to verify the proximity and enable my WiFi. So my variable is set to "1".
Then... After my phone connects to my network I set another variable to "1".
When both variables are equal to "1" my home profile kicks in.
This way I do not rely on Location (and my power consumption is lower).

So the way tasker works is when a profile activates, the entry task runs, then when the profile deactivates the exit task runs.
If something interferes with the entry task, or if you have profiles that overlap (changing the same settings for instance) the profile will be active, but the desired actions may not be able to run.
However, when it comes to wifi on/off actions, you have to do a few things to ensure the actions can run.
1. Make sure you give yourself enough time to enable wifi before continuing.
Eg: 1. Turn on wifi
2. If connected to my home ssid do the following
This will never work because tasker enables the wifi and immediately goes to the next action, but you need at least 5 seconds (really 15) to connect, so it will never be connected when if statement is checked
2. Or say you want to disable wifi every time The wifi is disconnected from any ssid and whenever you're in range of your homer ssid another profile turns on wifi.
The following WILL NEVER WORK but will take a long time to realize the simplicity of why if not careful
If wifi=on and wifi is not connected
Disable wifi and do these things
The reason is the home profile will always enable wifi and for 15 seconds the disable WiFi profile will trigger because the wifi is on but not connected...so it'll disable WiFi.. which will... you get the idea.
P.s. if the profile is active then reliable alarms has nothing to do with why the actions didn't run. Tasker correctly activated the profile... something interfered elsewhere
My request is very simple:
I use WiFi tithering a lot while travelling. When I enter any known WiFi zone, I wish to turn tithering off and WiFi on, using Tasker.
I have created two profiles for this purpose:
1. Activates tithering when I leave a WiFi zone and loose WiFi connection. This profile works perfectly!
2. Disable tithering and turn WiFi on when I enter a known WiFi zone. This profile never triggers, but the associated tasks run do exactly what I want them to do when I run them manually.
The two actions linked to profile #2 are:
WiFi Tither Set Off
WiFi Set On
And, as I said - they perform exactly what they should - if run manually.
The profile that I use to trigger, is:
State Net, WiFi Near
I have not set any paramters such as SSID, MAC etc. Everything is left blank.
May assumption was that it would trigger on any WiFi zone that it could successfully recognise (log on to). But that does not seem to be the case. It never triggers.
But the profile does become active (turn green) every time I enter a known WiFi Zone. I believed this was a sign that it would trigger.
Any idea how to accomplish a working trigger the way I want?

If I remember correctly Wifi near requires "Wifi Scanning" to be on, which is located under settings > security & location > location > advanced > scanning.
