location trigger problem

Post by vamzicool » 27 Mar 2015 09:12

http://automagic4android.com/flow.php?i ... a981196bf6
This flow switches Wi-Fi on/off when entering my office location. But somehow the trigger gets executed now and then switching off my Wi-Fi when I'm in the middle of something important. I wish the trigger stops executing once I'm inside my office so that I can use my Wi-Fi without interruption. Please help

Hi,

It sounds like the trigger detects that you are exiting your office when you are actually still there.
If this is the case, your phone might pick up an inaccurate location provided by a cell tower. You can try to either increase the radius in the location trigger to avoid this problem or try to use the modern method in the location trigger (it uses the newer fused location features provided by Google Play services which often works very well).
If this does not work, you could also use another flow so that WiFi is not turned off by exiting the location but turns off when your device disconnects from your work WiFi.

Regards,
Martin

Thanks a lot Martin for always responding to my queries. I have increased the radius and added another flow just for turning off Wi-Fi. It seems to work now.
