Why automate Wi-Fi
Leaving Wi-Fi on all day drains battery while your phone keeps scanning for networks. Turning it off means you forget to turn it back on at home and burn through mobile data. A location-based flow fixes both: Wi-Fi turns on when you arrive and off when you leave.
The quick way: describe it
Open AnyFlow, tap New flow and type:
“When I get home, turn on Wi-Fi. When I leave, turn it off.”
AnyFlow builds two triggers (arrive at Home and leave Home) with the matching actions, and asks you where “Home” is. Check the flow, then tap Save & turn on.
Build it step by step
- Tap New flow and pick the trigger Arrive at a place.
- Set the place: paste a Google Maps link, type an address, or enter coordinates. A radius of 100–150 m works well.
- Add the action Wi-Fi → On.
- Save, then create a second flow with Leave a place and Wi-Fi → Off.
Permissions it needs
- Location — Allow all the time, so the trigger works with the app closed.
- Accessibility: Android doesn't let apps switch Wi-Fi directly, so AnyFlow uses the quick-settings panel. The phone needs to be unlocked at that moment.
AnyFlow checks these when you save and shows a button for anything missing.
Make it smarter
- Also turn on Bluetooth when you leave, for your car or earbuds.
- Send yourself a notification instead of toggling, if you prefer to tap it yourself.
- Add a condition so it only runs on weekdays.
