The third one does a " WIFI Connected *,*,*" (to anywhere) which calls a task " Log In" which cleans up and stores the current WIFI Info (%WIFII) which contains the connected SSID, speed, channel, etc.) into another global variable (%wifiConnected) along with a date and time stamp, and has an Exit Task called " Log Out" that modifies this global variable by simply putting "!!!" in front of the SSID and the current (logout) time at the end. The second one is called " WIFI is On" (%WIFI eq on) which gets triggered by the WIFI Pinger.) This runs a task I call " Wifi Check" that simply captures the WIFI Info (%WIFII) into a global variable "%wifiInfo" (IF it is at least 20 characters long and contains "SCAN" in the text.) and has an Exit Task called " Where Am I" that basically determines if any familiar SSIDs are in this text (more on this later). (I don't know if there IS a WIFI SSID called "Eternity", but if I ever come across it, I will know!) This context simply toggles WIFI on periodically to check for any signals it can find. I called my first context " WIFI Pinger" and it is simply "WIFI Near Eternity" and all it does is Say "OMG I am here!". I noticed (maybe I'm wrong) that when I used multiple "WIFI Near" contexts, it seemed to be polling the WIFI way too often (for each context?), so here is how I determine locations in 3 easy steps: I also like to impress my friends when my phone talks and tells me what it is up to! I, like most people, want a lot of my contexts to be location based because I change several settings depending on whether I am in a "familiar" location or not, and also wish to preserve battery life as much as possible. Now that I finally finished reading, I just had to join the forum and post what I have been doing with it. When I was about 2 pages into it, I purchased Tasker and have been fooling around with it during the time I was reading this thread. I stumbled onto Tasker a couple weeks ago, then I found this thread and have had it up on my screen reading at my leisure for most of 2 weeks (2 years worth of postings!). First, Kudos to all who have contributed to this thread!
