I?ll preface this by saying I have posted a question on the Tasker google group as well but its awaiting moderator approval. I wanted to tackle this issue from multiple avenues. I have searched on this site and through google with no success. So maybe my needs aren?t possible with Tasker?
When Wifi is enabled my phone will auto-detect and auto-connect to any open wifi it finds (i.e. Free Wifi Hotspots).
Short Version:
If I detect Free Wifi then connect to it. Otherwise keep wifi off.
Long Version:
I need to periodically turn on Wifi, confirm if connected to wifi, and if not turn off wifi, then recheck a few minutes later. If connected to wifi then leave wifi on. I do not want to location based action because I don't want to have to manually add every WiFi location I encounter first.
I really have tried but there doesn't SEEM to be an easy way to do this because the profile and task options available aren't sufficient. For example setting a new profile there is the option to detect WIFI Connection/No Connection but NOT an option to detect WIFI ON/OFF. When creating a task there's no action for detect Wifi Connection/No Connection like there is with setting the Profile but there is the Wifi On/Off.
I'm still learning Tasker and how variables work. Too bad its not in VB cause I could nail it easily.
Any help is appreciated.
