Please help me create my tasker profile.

How to setup a task (or app if you have one in mind) to have wifi turn on and sync in a set defined interval? eg. Have wifi turn on once every 15 minutes and sync data/apps for one minute and then turn wifi off again. Yet at the sametime not have the interval occurring when the screen is on and being used.

Welcome to Android Froums.

I don;t know what you mean by "sync data/apps for one minute". If this means "enable WiFi for one minute" then this profile might do it ...

Profile: woo
State: Display State [ Is:Off ]
Enter: Anon
A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:15 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A2: WiFi [ Set:On ]
A3: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:1 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A4: WiFi [ Set:Off ]
Exit: Anon
A1: WiFi [ Set:Off ]

Hi thanks, yes I want something like this to toggle wifi at set intervals in the background. How can I adjust this profile so that the wifi turns on when the screen is on, but without messing up this profile. Also, is there a way to make this entire profile only active when at my home using State: Cell Near?

Thanks!

WiFi Near is more reliable ... like ...

Profile: woo
State: Display State [ Is:Off ]
State: Wifi Near [ SSID:TLANET-5GHz MAC:* Capabilities:* Min. Activate Signal Level:0 Channel:0 Toggle Wifi:Off ]
Enter: Anon
A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:15 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A2: WiFi [ Set:On ]
A3: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:1 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A4: WiFi [ Set:Off ]
Exit: Anon
A1: WiFi [ Set:Off ]

... you need to change my SSID to yours.

It is time you started experimenting to find how to do stuff your way.

I'm definitely trying to experiment around with it as I'm not too familiar with it all. One thing I've noticed with using Wifi Near is that, if at the end of the profile, the wifi is turned off, wouldn't that block it's ability to see Wifi Near?

 

[Thom]

No that's not what it means.

Load the profile in Tasker and look at the statement. It is disabled.

I'm having issue with this profile turning wifi off when the screen is on and I'm using the device. Is there anyway to make sure it only goes in effect when the screen is off?

Try removing the Exit task.
