Automatically Turn Off Wi-Fi in Android When Disconnected
Unionhawk shares a handy Tasker profile for saving battery life:
Here’s a useful Tasker profile if you find the network location method too unreliable:
Profile: Wifi Auto Off
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:* MAC:* IP:* ]
Enter:
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%WIFIC To:1 Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
Exit:
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%WIFIC To:0 Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A2: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:1 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A3: WiFi [ Set:Off ] If [ %WIFIC = 0 ]
What does this do? Well, if your WiFi goes from connected to disconnected, then it will wait 1 minute to attempt to reconnect, then turn your WiFi off. You’ll need to create a variable for WiFi connection status (I used %WIFIC). Of course, this means that you’ll need to manually turn your WiFi on at home…
