WIFI state doesn't need location access

i just can speak for myself and my tryouts, but on every start/restart macrodroid i get the warning message "Location service disabled".
its based on the constraint "wifi enabled".
if its enabled or disabled, you don't need the location service.

my request is to change the missleading warning notification to the actions that need location service like wifi ssid.

here is a test example to try it out on different device to make sure everyone doesn't have the problem.

if successfull: can this warning reduced to the section it is really needed?


---
how to test:
1) check with location service enabled.
then click on the wifi icon and activate or deactivate it -> pop up appears.

2) check without location service.
then click on the wifi icon and activate or deactivate it -> if the pop up still appears, then you don't need location service for this action.

The developer's documentation states the following.

Note: In each of the following sections that mention location permissions or location-gathering logic, keep in mind that, when your app is running in the background, access to location should be critical to the core functionality of the app and is accompanied with proper disclosure to users.
