Help with wifi profiles

OK, I'm tidying up my stuff to have only the relevant profiles and tasks in the same project...
 
That's where AutoLocation comes in. Install the free version and get acquainted with it, by creating a geofence for home, for example.
 
FYI you get the 7 days free trial by going through a paid (can't remember the price) subscription. Make sure you cancel it before the 7th day and buy the separate Unlock Key, which is a one-off payment.

I'm still in the process of getting that project ready but I'm being distracted by the World Cup, F1 and 24h of Nurburgring...
 
Here's an advanced connectivity manager:

It requires:
- AutoLocation

It includes:
- an event logger
- a boot task to start the AutoLocation Geofences monitor and create a new logging file
- a night time which disconnects everything (unless the screen is on)
- events for a Home geofence
- the WiFi is only switched on when at home
- The data connection is only switched on when there's no WiFi connection
- a Auto/Manual connection mode (change it by launching the task 'Switch ConnectionMode' via a shortcut or widget). Manual means all the funky stuff above never happens


Note: you may need to re-hook the "At Home" profile to your own geofence for it to work properly, i.e. you may need to select the profile, select the "AutoLocation Geofences" context, and reconfigure it.



To avoid too much confusion, I stripped out these features from my own set up:
- Tasker's notification icon changing when at home. It's only commented out so it can be switched on easily
- hook up with Minimalistic text to switch the connection mode (Auto/Manual) and another control listing all active profiles
- hook up with a custom Car Mode (which forces the connectivity regardless of the time or location)
- hook up with Tasker Is Music Playing Plugin to keep the connection on when playing music at night despite the screen being off

I think that's it...
Edit: I should have taken the logger out...

Open AutoLocation, under Geofences, do the following:
tap on 'Manage Geofences'
Create your Home geofence by:
- tapping on '+'
- point on map to pick the centre
- set the radius (example: 50m for me)
- Accept
- Pick a name
Tap on 'Start Monitor'

Use Chrome then.

I guess I should have mentioned how to import the project.

Once the file is downloaded and moved to the correct folder (SDcard/Tasker/Projects by default), do the following:
In Tasker, hold the + button (bottom centre I believe).
The bottom action bar should change and the + should move to the right
Projects will be shown on this bottom bar
A default project should be shown
Tap and hold on it, and a menu should appear
Select Import and select the file to import
The project should be added to the bottom action bar
 
If I click on the link from Chrome on my phone, and then select Drive, I then get a list of options to open the file, one of which being Tasker.

See if you can make some room, I'd like to hear that it works for you. :)
 
Yes, Keyguard and this won't interfere which each other (I disable Keyguard when in car mode, for example).
