Disable WiFi when certain SSIDs detected?

[GeoDesertRat]

Looking for a way to automagically disable WiFi when I walk into a store which uses WiFi to track my traffic through the store and associate my WiFi MAC address with me when I'm at the register making a purchase. Is that doable with Automagic?

Hi,

How do you know that an SSID is one of a store where you want to turn off WiFi? Are the shops using some kind of a naming pattern for their SSIDs?

Don't all Starbucks have the same SSID to make it trivial to connect?

I'll bet most stores in a chain use the same open WiFi so once you have given permission in one store you connect easily in all the stores.

You could use a trigger WiFi Scan Results Available to execute a flow then check whether or not the SSID of the shop is available and turn off wifi:

-trigger WiFi Scan Results Available
-condition WiFi Available: <shop SSID>
-->true: -action Set WiFi State: Off

You could also add actions to turn WiFi on again after a minute with an action Sleep: 1m and action Set WiFi State: On.
