Hello,

I created a profile WIFI
NEAR XXX.
It
quickly triggered when I'm near XXX.
But it takes a long time to exit when I leave this WIFI.

In Tasker the profile is green, while the wireless network no longer appears on the phone.

What interests me is the exit task linked with this profile, that sometimes triggers 30 minutes after the event.

I set the Wifi scan to 120 seconds and All checks (screen off) to 120 seconds.

Thank you for your advice.

PS: This task already worked fine before, but since I reset the phone and restored tasker without settings.
I am under KitKat with Note 3

It has to do 2 scan sessions not finding Wifi before Wifi Near exits. Using the default settings that can take up to 20 minutes. Is there something else you can use to trigger the Wifi off? For example, my car has Bluetooth so I use that as a trigger.

Like Brad said, you can add another item to the profile trigger.  Something location-based like cell near or location:net.  Another thing you could do is set up another profile that speeds up the wifi scanning when it detects disconnecting from the wifi network.  In other words, I assume that you are connected to a wifi network when you are in the "wifi near" area?  If so, create a profile that triggers when you connect to that wifi network, and then add an exit task that scans for wifi near every 5 minutes, or however often you want.  That would speed up the reporting of the wifi near.
