Krazz,

Try it!

you just need the first two lines of code from the 'test' button in the script.

it works for me!!

Per Belgium,

Whoever has the source code, you are free to publish it. The activity property will be in the next Dev Guide.

I don't have the source snippet handy so whoever got it last, please post the code snippet.

Thanks,
Lyndel

wifiEnabled = false;
wifiEnabled = true;
var notConnected = true;
while (notConnected)
{
try
{
tryCount++;
var w = widget("STATUS");
if (tryCount > 10)
{
if (w)
w.label = "Cannot connect to network, please check your settings...";
// Better here would be performing a jump to a message page making this code to break automatically and the code below would not have to be executed
GUI.updateScreen();
tryCount=0;
break;
}
if (w)
w.label = "Trying Macro...";
GUI.updateScreen();
w = CF.widget("MACRO"); // This Macro should be an IR code that you issue on the extender if necessary a dummy one...
if (w)
w.executeActions(); // will fail if no network connection and the exception will be caught
//Hereafter you can do a pagejump or issue the real macro
System.delay(300);
if (w)
w.label = "Executed Macro...";
notConnected = false;
}
catch(e)
{
var w = widget("STATUS");
if (w)
w.label = "Waiting for connection with the nearest access point... " + tryCount;
GUI.updateScreen();
System.delay(200);
}
}
tryCount=0;

It is one line of code. I will be home later this evening and I will post it. I do not understand what Kevin posted but I do not believe it will turn the radio on and off unless I missed something.

I placed the line of code as

CF.widget("widgetName").enabled=!CF.widget("widgetName").enabled

"widgetName" is what I can not remember on a button whose released or normal image is a 1% opacity rectangle that covers the wifi widget on my home page. Its pressed state image is a big red X. If the wifi widget is active you see the widget. Touch it, the big red X appears and the widget collapses. Touch it again and the radio starts up and re-acquires the WAP. It takes 2-3 seconds for that to happen. When the radio re-acquires the WAP it will go to the one with the strongest signal and the wifi widget expands to show the signal strength.

I had a long discussion with the Philips team at Cedia and they are going to review Philips policies and see if they can forge a better relationship with thier client base.

The above code will work. Here's an explanation of how this feature was added.

The Activity class has a new property named 'wifiEnabled' that can be toggled.

So, the 2 lines of code from above

wifiEnabled = false;
wifiEnabled = true;


toggle wifi status by simply turning it off and then back on. The remainder of the code is just extra illustrating how one might want to integrate this feature into a configuration.

Like i said before, you only need the first two lines of code..

Sorry guys, the simple line of code will not work unless. It will turn out to be an undefined parameter variable

The code I use is as follows:

if(CF.activity().wifiEnabled)
{ CF.activity().wifiEnabled=false; widget("WiFi_Reset").label="X" }
else { CF.activity().wifiEnabled=true; widget("WiFi_Reset").label="" }

I do agree with Lyndell's statement that there is now an activity level property called wifiEnabled, But just using the property name in the Prontoscript of a button will not work, unless it has been set to point to CF.activity().wifiEnabled. I always use the fully qualified items just to avoid confusion. I just tried it and it is reported as an undefined variable as I suspected.

As I stated earlier in this post I use a transparent button, and change its label to remind me that the radio is shut off. The button is tagged as "WiFi_Reset" and as I stated before it is 1% opacity

Has anyone else found that using this code:

CF.activity().wifiEnabled = false;
CF.activity().wifiEnabled = true;

to disconnect/reconnect to strongest WAP can cause the 9600 to lock up and need a power cycle? Doesn't happen very often but when it does its always when its disconnected and says "Connecting" top left on screen.

This happens in multiple rooms with different WAPs so I doubt its the network. This even happens if a put a scheduleAfter in for the reconnect to give it several seconds between disconnecting and reconnecting. Also affects 2 different 9600's so I know its not a dodgy Pronto or firmware. Running latest versions of firmware on everything.

Any suggestions on how to avoid this? Anyone else seen it happen?

removed :)

I do not use it often, but have never seen it do what you have seen.

I flashed the firmware again and it was ok.... strange..

Im sure in PEP1 when you did wifi disable you were left with the wifi icon on the TSU with a red "x" above it , but now it disapears..

GoPronto, are you referring to the Slimpronto code? I believe I may have based the wifi enable/disable in that home page

Not in slimpronto , just in general... i was doing some checking for a distributor of mine , he has made some comments that its no behaving the same as it used too...

What firmware revision, please?
