Automatically switch off WiFi if there is no connection for a certain period of time.


This Tasker recipe is to automate the switching off of your WiFi setting when there are no WiFi connection for a period of time. Basically there are 2 profile to set. The first profile to provide a variable to flag if the WiFi is connected or not. The 2nd profile is to start the timer when WiFi is disconnected. After a given period of time if the WiFi does not reconnect, WiFi will be switched off.

I created this Tasker recipe to save some battery on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus when the WiFi is on but no connection. 

Note: you cannot import this file into Tasker. Use this as a guide to create your own profiles.

  1. These instructions are not very well written for someone who has just installed tasker. There should be a few more details in the steps. Similar to this: http://tasker.wikidot.com/autosyncwifionly
    However, the wikidot does not have the steps to turn off WiFi after x amount of time, which would be nice to have.
