Anyone having problems getting the “when my device connects to a wifi network” trigger in the Automations section of Shortcuts to work? I’m having a problem both on my iPhone and my iPad, and I’ve tried numerous wifi networks. Maybe it’s a system setting outside of the shortcuts app itself?
As always, I’m assuming user error.
Are notifications turned on for Shortcuts?
Funny you ask that. I don’t HAVE a notifications setting for shortcuts. Is it buried somewhere i haven’t thought of?
Neither have I, but they work anyway. I’m not even sure where the setting would be? (@RosemaryOrchard?)
But for this one: did you check the “home” app notifications settings?
a great question - but yes, my notifications for HOME are turned on.
also, i have set this trigger to something else, like launching an app, and it still doesn’t work (I don’t think it’s related to the “Show Alert” action - unless ALL of these triggers create a notification before the action is executed.
small update - it finally occurred to me to try other personal automations. Shortcuts based on time of day, Airplane Mode, Alarm Triggers and Apps being launched all work fine. Only WiFi. I also tried “forget this network” and reestablish WiFi, but it didn’t work. Ugh!
last I heard this was a known issue - multiple threads on Reddit about it:
Oh my God, weirdly this makes me feel so much better. There may not be an immediate solution in sight, but at least I’m not crazy. Thank you!
Any indication this has been fixed? Cuz it still doesn’t work for me.
I haven’t tried in awhile. I don’tthink it’s working yet, sorry!
