Cannot select specific SSID for WIFI triggers

[BrianJensen]

When having a trigger for "Connected to network" I used to be able to select a specific wifi SSID. But now I can only select "Any network"

Is there any way to be able to trigger on a specific wifi, as before ?
I have tried to use "SSID in range" as a work around, because here I can still select a specific wifi. But I prefer to only use "Connected to network" since it was working better for my case.

I am using a Oneplus 7 with Android 11.

Simple question: Do you have location services turned on?

 

[BrianJensen]

Yes the location service is turned on. But I noticed that "MD Helper" did not have the full location service enabled, and that seems to do the trick.

I have exactly the same problem. MD Helper & Macrodroid both have full location permissions enabled, but I am still unable to add a constraint linked to a specific SSID.

@Sinkers Please ensure you have disabled battery optimization from the helper file as this can cause this to fail as well.

That was it! Thanks.

I am having this very same issue with a Samsung A71 running Android 11, unable to choose a specific network with the "Connected to Network" trigger. The macros created on my GS7 running Android 8 still work, but if I try to update them or create a new macro, none of the SSIDs I've connected to show up anymore, only "Any Network". Location is allowed all the time for both Macrodroid and the helper, and battery saving is also disabled for both. Not sure what to do next ...

OK, not sure what I did to fix this, I was going back over all the settings and changed a few different things (none of them were battery related) and now it's working...

As well as having location allowed, try testing with location enabled and disabled...
