This issue is a little more complex to describe. I have 2 phones at home, which I use to tell the house if we are in or out.
On my phone, Samsung S6 with Android 5, all is good and working reliably.
I use a combination of autolocation and tasker on the phone, to turn a virtual device on my HS3 on or off. I also use my Wifi connection on the phone, if I haven't had a ping for longer than 20 mins, it turns my phone to away. As well, when it logs on to wifi, it turns the phone to home (it it was away). So all eventualities covered.
Now, the problem. This setup does not work on my wifes phone, a Samsung A3 on Android 6.01 (which is part of the problem I think)
First of all autolocation does not always activate. No idea why. WiFi always on on ANdroid 6.0.1 does not work. The WiFi goes to sleep. So I cannot use the no ping for 20 minutes - turn phone to away. Also when she comes home, Wifi is very often still asleep. So to use that to turn the phone to home doesn't work either. This combined with the patchy autolocation (btw I use the same settings as on my phone) makes it completely unusable.
Any ideas of either how to make my setup work reliably, or any other suggestions for a reliable solution please ?
