I can not list available networks using automagic

Post by rcfree » 04 Jan 2018 22:45

I have a problem.

I need to identify the networks that are available next to me and I tried to use the action "Init Variable WiFi Access Point List"
but the list returns empty even if there are available networks.

I tried using the "WiFi Scan" action together with the "WiFi Scan Results Available" trigger but I did not succeed, list returns empty.

I used the same flows on another smartphone (with MIUI) and it worked perfectly.

This way I believe it could be a bug.

My smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with Android 7.0 without root and without any change.

Can anybody help me?

To scan for available nearby wifi, use Condition Wifi available. This return more info than the action/trigger.

In newer android version, some vendor has tighten up the security accordingly. You must turn on location and scanning always available (wifi location scan) to ensure the scan can be done.
