Connect to a free WiFi network when it becomes available

Post by Wibbly » 11 Sep 2015 11:38

"Connect to a free WiFi network when it becomes available" is an example in Automagic docs of the application of the WiFi Scan Results Available trigger, using the access_points variable list that gets populated.

I'm struggling to get this to work because I've not sure how to best to write the flow/script to access the access_points list. The use case is leaving Android's Scanning always available Advanced Wifi settings ON, and using the flow as a location trigger when specific WiFi SSIDs are in range (such as to fully enable/disable WiFi).

Has anyone any sample flows/scripts that I can use as a model for determining when specific SSIDs are available?

I'm presuming this will be a more reliable and battery friendly than using the Phone Cell GSM trigger with Wake/Force update/Screen-on options to make that work. There are always WiFi access points where I want to detect I'm in a location...
