Flow does not work as expected (partially)

Hello,


Example:

I have a flow that should turn my WiFi ON provided that I'm close to my home.
After moving away from home ( x diistance from there) I need to set WiFi = Off.

I'm using my Latitude, Longitude of my home.

Steps:
1. periodic location (15 seconds for test purposes)
2. Entering/Exiting the coordinates. When exiting, WiFi is set to Off (expected to happen).
3. Returning to the exact point I started at, the flow keeps going False, it does not set the WiFi to On (not expected to happen).


Any sugestions on how ti fix this non-expected condition?

tks

Hi,

Could you please post the flow here, maybe there's something wrong in the condition. There's a flow available in menu->'Catalog' called 'Location Based WiFi On/Off' that might work.
Please note that the location features of phones are usually not very exact when WiFi is turned off and background scanning is disabled in the system settings so your phone might not be able to determine a good location or it can only find a very inaccurate position. I recommend to increase the radius in the location condition to a few hundred meters to see if the condition starts to work.

Regards,
Martin

Martin,
Thank you for the reply.
I already fixed the issue.

Nonetheless, how do I proceed to submit the XML when needed.
Where to look in my phone to grab the XML?

Glad you got the flow working.

To share a flow, go to the flow list, press menu->Forum, click the green publish button at the bottom of the screen. Publishing a flow uploads the XML to our server and generates a link that can be posted in a forum post. This is the preferable way to share a flow since attaching an XML file can cause troubles at times when the forum thinks that the XML contains Java script code.
