going through trying to figure this things out, first droid. when using smart actions i tried to turn wifi on when i'm home but want it off all the other time bc most likely want be accesible to any. if i select all times as a trigger for action of wifi off how can i make it trigger home action wifi on? is this possible?

I think if you set a trigger to turn it on when you're at home, it will be off when you're not at home.
I have one set to turn wifi on when at work (by location), and wifi turns off as I'm leaving the parking lot. At least it did last Friday, I've only had the phone since Thursday.

Smartactions uses wifi instead of the gps to locate you therefore it cannot control the wifi using location. Sounds crazy but I talked to a dev on the SmartActions team about that a while back. The gps uses too much power to be used that way and they considered cell triangulation to inaccurate.

If you would like to have what you are trying to do, download Y5 Battery Saver. It does exactly this function.

I have actions to turn wifi on or off based on location and it works fine. Turns it in at home and a few other places, off at work. Seems kind of random whether it's on or off outside of locations with a setting.

Apparently they have reconsidered. That's nice.
