Registered Wifi Access Point Available

[acerzw]

The "Wifi Available" condition that looks for specific wifi SSID's is useful but requires that you edit the flow if you want to add a new network. Prior to finding Automagic I came across automation software with a function to check if a registered (i.e. password/authentification was stored for) network was available. This is much more convenient as it does not require the list of networks to be edited as newly regstered ones are automatically checked for. This would also make shared flows work better as they will auomatically adapt to the wifi network list of the flow user.

Hi,

You could either turn on wifi (if it's off), wait some seconds and then use condition WiFi Connected to check if the device was able to connect to one of the configured networks.

You could also use a flow like this if you don't want to edit the list:
-action Init Variable WiFi Access Point List: All configured into access_points
-condition WiFi Available: {access_points,listformat,comma}
--> true: -action ...

The first action stores all configured SSIDs into a variable called access_points. The condition uses an expression to format this list to a comma separated list when the condition is executed.

Regards,
Martin
