Hello Martin,

It would be nice to have a WIFI signal strength trigger and action, so it can be used in an indoor positioning system/flow.
Also a bluetooth device scan would be nice, so it can trigger actions when specific bleutooth devices are recognized.

Hi,

Both features are on my todo-list but have a low priority since it did not work very reliably (especially BT) when I last checked.
For WiFi you could use a trigger General Broadcast with action android.net.wifi.RSSI_CHANGED and Access intent extras: rssi=getInt("newRssi", 0); (see example on the help page of trigger General Broadcast).
You can also access the WiFi signal level using a condition WiFi Available and local variable level.

For BT you could use action android.bluetooth.device.action.FOUND and Access intent extras: rssi=getShort("android.bluetooth.device.extra.RSSI", 0); (is only executed when a BT scan detects a visible device).

Regards,
Martin

Thanks for your reply Martin.
I will try your solution.

I'm not sure if I did it right. Should we use Start Activity?
