I have an app called auto wifi on/off that I just use just to turn off
my wifi after it has been disconnected for about 2 minutes so when I
leave my home I don't have my phone searching for wifi signals and
waisting battery. I'm sure there is a way to do this with tasker, I
just can't figure out how to do it. As a plus I'd like to use it so
that my wifi turns off only when it has been disconnected for a solid
two minutes. That way when I go to get my mail and my wifi only loses
connection for a short period of time, the tasker auto wifi off will
not execute so I can go back inside and not have to turn wifi back on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You could set up a profile that is active if Wifi is not connected
(context: state -> wifi connected, set invert) and create a task which
does the following:
1. wait 2min
2. disable wifi if %WIFII is false
I am however not sure how to use the built-in variable %WIFII
correctly, you would have to test this.
Maybe you can even avoid the if-condition and try it the simple way...
Regards

I tried the above before with no if condition and whenever I connected
to a wifi network tasker would turn off wifi immediately. I'll give
this script a try with the if condition and see if it works. Thanks
for your help.

WiFi Info
%WIFII
When connected to an Access Point (AP), shows human-readable data
about the AP. When not connected, show details of the most recent Wifi
scan results for nearby APs.
I think we need the other way to read the wifi status

@Andrew:
Did you set the "invert" option in the profile context?
And maybe you need to set "keep device awake" in the task settings...
@Sen:
You're right about the %WIFII variable. I don't know how Tasker
handles for example an if-condition "%WIFII = 1".
Maybe Pent can help out there...

I just set up just such a profile and it works like a charm. I
actually use two profiles, one detects when wifi is on, but not
connected and sets a variable %WIFIONDISCONNECTED to 1. The other
reacts to this variable and initiates a debounce sequence to make sure
that I'm not killing wifi during momentary losses of communication
like taking out the trash. I like to use a shorter timer in
conjuction with a counter because it kills the task sooner if the
conditions are no longer met.
You can ignore most of the alerts (they are there for debugging, hence
the "NEVERONE~1") but if you remove them, be sure to update the "GoTo"
numbers accordingly.

I've gotten a couple of emails asking about this profile so I thought
I would add a couple more details to clear things up.
Profile: Wifi On/Disconnected (113)
State: Not Wifi Connected
State: Variable Value %WIFI matches 'on'
State: Variable Value %WIFIDEBOUNCE != 1
