re-enabling wifi Access points

[andrewb]

I have a flow which logs me in preferentially to my access point at home (and so not to the neighbours' wifis). But it only works if I tick the "disable other access points" in the final action "Enable wifi Access Point" and then all other networks are exactly that: disabled. And they stay that way even after my phone is elsewhere, which means it won't log into any other AP once the flow has successfully run at home.

So my question is how do I re-enable other access points when my preferred wifi is not in range?

There's an "SSID" field in setup dialog for action "Activate WLAN Access Point" - won't it help to specify it there?

[andrewb]

I can't find any action to "Activate WLAN access point." In any case, what I want is to re-enable all of the stored access points and what that seems to do is to activate a particular one.

What I want to do is to *enable* the access points -- what happens at present is that if I have triggered the action "Enable WiFi Access point" with the parameter "disable other access points" these stay disabled even after I have moved away from my home wifi and can no longer connect with it. The effect is that I can't connect to any other acces points: rather, I can make the connection, but the phone immediately drops it and marks the access point "disabled" again.

[Bushmills]

It seems that you want to reenable those hotspots only because you disabled them before - which may be unnecessary with the ability to connect to a specified hotspot.
The name of that action was a one to one translation of how that action is called in Automagic using German settings. If called differently in other languages, I wouldn't know how its caliitsled in those.

[andrewb]

Ah. Thanks. I do read German, though I would rather not write in it! So I might look through for German comments that are relevant.

Is there a way in a script to say

for (i in access_points)
{
enable wifi access point(i)
}

which is what I want to do -- but I can't find a way to call an action ("Enable wifi access point") from a script, which seems absurd. All the examples just give "log"

[Bushmills]

Could be that we're suffering from some translation hiccup here - I can't find any hotspot disabling actions - but I see options to deactivate ("deaktivieren") them.

[andrewb]

"Deaktivieren" is bound to be the same thing. "Disable" is a perfectly good translation in this context and rather more idiomatic than "De-activate"
