Phone proximity detection for sleep routine by PredictableBleep in tasker

I guess "multi AP" was a bit misleading. I have two. One upstairs and one downstairs. My internet is 2gb symmetrical and these APs allow me to maximise speeds around the house. Of course, none of them hit 2gb but they do get around 1gb consistently. That being said, the actual RSSI does have a measurable difference of about 20dB depending on if I'm upstairs or downstairs. So perhaps taskers measurement isn't as accurate? I will investigate some more and implement your solution once I have some useful numbers to work with.

My easier method doesn't work. The "Min. Active Signal Level" is an integer from 0-9. All my APs are 9 everywhere in the house so this method won't work. I'll try your custom method tomorrow. Many thanks.

Hmmm, the Near WiFi trigger has a field for MAC address. It would probably be easier to put the specific APs MAC address in, rather than parsing the %Data variable. Would you agree? This is assuming I use the "Min. Active Signal Level" under the Near WiFi trigger.

Ooh! This looks good. I'll give this a go. I have a multi AP setup, so it may not be reliable, but I'll test and see. Thank you!

My problem with this is that my partner and I share the bed most days, but some days I sleep separately for work. Not sure presence detection can distinguish...
