how do I finish this?

Post by kilometers4 » 03 Aug 2014 02:56

I want to loop the flow on the right back to check to see if the device is connected to my home ssid. But every way I have tried drains lots of battery. Any help would be appreciated.

Not quite sure what you are trying to achieve, but just create the second flow with the trigger "WiFi Connected" or "WiFi Disconnected" - something like that.

I'm trying to get it to detect that I've left my house and turn off airplane mode without causing a wake lock the whole time.

Thank you for your response

I used to do that but then i realised automagic doesn't work that way plus as you say it drains a lot of battery.

I now have flows for entering locations like home or work and flows for leaving with a default flow for them to fall back to.

I have a separate flow to check the wifi ssid but this is triggered by a periodic timer.

Periodic timers achieve the same thing as keeping the flow alive.

Could you post your flow so I could take a look?
