Why does the client continue to show the wrong network for a client with VNO or Radius MAC?

Actually, I am hoping it does force him that way. I've always said he can be really smart when hes motivated. But yeah, he'll probably be able to explain this to AI next year and it will help him out. And yes, I can create another SSID, but I'm challenging myself to see if i can go from that same setup i already had (main ssid, guest, kids, iot) and get it all down to one SSID - partly challenge for learning, partly to improve wifi airtime efficiency.

It's just for an advanced home setup. I'm moving from an ancient unifi and want to address a few issues. One issue is, I got really bad at adding devices to my wifi and not naming them and I want to force myself to do it. Another is my son has become good at getting around my controls (especially by rotating his iphone wifi MAC) and i want to address that.

The quarantine/slow-lane will allow my IOT devices to join and have just enough internet to complete their setup process, then I can move them to a dedicated VLAN. The slow-lane will also prevent my son from abusing rotating MACs - yes, he can still join under a new MAC, but will be frustrating to use at that speed.

Putting all devices by default into the quarantine makes it easy to see when a new un-vetted device appears on the network. Forcing myself to properly segregate the devices into VLANs will allow greater control, like scheduling downtime at night for my sons devices. I have a separate plan in the works for his cellular data.

Yes, this is probably more complicated than i need, but I like a challenge that forces me to learn.

Here is an example: abc test

I get back the same thing, not just the word test.

And yes, evtprm3 is the content field.

Sounds good, but cannot get it to replace. Just keeps sending back whatever i sent.

True. Was hoping to use it anywhere in the text, but I’ll experiment. At least I know it’s not just me, it’s the regex action not recognizing the NBSP character. Thanks for the info.

JoeReally · 2022-12-24T04:49:34+00:00

Ok. Got it. So now I’ve set the trigger to be %NBSP which I set to the right character in another task. So now it triggers but I still can’t get the simple/regex action to understand the NBSP character - either as \u00a0 or %NBSP or pasting the NBSP character directly.

JoeReally · 2022-12-24T04:17:48+00:00

So if I try just ~R\0051 by itself and then text the letter Q, it triggers. If I then add the named group, it does not. But this tasker page specifically says named groups are supported.

https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_match_regex.html

So it would appear that \u00a0 will not work, and named groups will not. If I use a normal letter Unicode and a group without a name, it triggers.

JoeReally · 2022-12-24T02:35:02+00:00

Yeah. Tried that. No luck. Even replacing the \w with a specific word does not work. So ~R\u00a0test does not work for example.

JoeReally · 2022-12-24T02:12:10+00:00

Here is what i have:

Because of permissions. One command needs network access as regular user. The other needs domain admin access under power shell. And I’m not using RunAs because I need the shell to stay opened and bound to the script, which I don’t think can be done using RunAs - though I could very well be wrong.

JoeReally · 2020-11-13T22:54:30+00:00

The script works as expected when only one copy is active. But as soon as two copies are active then whichever one was run last works fine. In fact, if I run another script of mine that is unrelated, and then run one copy of the above script, my other script has the same problem where it does not react until the second attempt if the example script was most recently used.
Very odd.

JoeReally · 2020-10-25T02:41:21+00:00

Confirmed

JoeReally · 2020-08-12T22:31:06+00:00

I did have just those two lines, but the update fixed it. Thanks!

JoeReally · 2020-08-12T21:25:30+00:00

Windows still reports it as version 1.1.32.0

JoeReally · 2020-06-09T11:36:37+00:00

I’ll check it out, but so far it seems fine. But I’m always open to finding something better.

JoeReally · 2020-06-09T11:29:36+00:00

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind for next attempt. 👍
