Problems with GSM location and WLAN

Hi,

I bought Automagic yesterday, and I've some questions ;-)

I tried to switch WLAN on and off, when at home. But I've a little problem. Inside my house, I've no GSM connection in all rooms. If I went into the basement, the flow switched WLAN off, because there is no GSM connection.
Is there a way to hold the WLAN in on state, until I leave the current cell, or I reached another cell? I have no WLAN connection in all rooms, so it's not a good Idea to check if WLAN is connected. ;-)

Second Question: I know the cell's arround my house (using Llama before Automagic). Can I write the cell under "CELL ID (CID) LISTE"? And how th separate? With a comma or a semicolon?


EDIT: Second Question is alreday clear - RTFM ;-)

Hi,

You could use a trigger Phone Cell GSM with Disconnected to execute a flow when you leave the defined cell list/area. Some phones provide strange values for the cell id when disconnecting so you might have to add -1, 0 or a similar value to the field Cell ID (CID) List to Ignore. Recording the cells with the start-button should also record such strange cells and should allow to select the cell id using the [...]-button.

Regards,
Martin

You can use condition Network Connected to check if your phone is connected to a network. In your basement this condition should return FALSE and in this situation don't turn off WiFi.

Thank you for your fast information. I've two new problems.
Using Network Connections works not realy good. In both cases, yes and no, my WLAN switched of. But I must make some more tests, so I don't know realy, wht kind of connection is tested.

My second problem: I've all Cell IDs from the places, I want to switch on my WLAN. But when I wrote this IDs in the CellID List, nothing happens. Only when teaching the cells around works. The teached cell id's are the same, as the id's I typed in :-(

Any suggestions?

Thank you :D

At the moment I think it's easier to write a little script ;-)

EDIT: All problems solved. First flow runs perfect.
