Hi,
 My phone is a S21 Ultra. I configured one routine to off wifi when my home wifi connection lost. That means when I go out phone will switch off wifi instead of hunting for available wifi networks, to save battery as I have lot of mobile data. The routine is working fine when I am going out but when I return home it's not going back to previous state. The routine is still running and I have to stop it manually to connect my home wifi. 
 I don't know why the routine not getting stopped automatically. May I know the reason or am I missing something here. I disabled Bixby on my phone but I believe Bixby routines work even Bixby is disabled.
Could someone please help me regarding this?

Thanks.

When you set up your routine you should be offered the choice of what to do when your routine ends like when your return to your home wifi you should be able to automatically connect again

Hi Ray,

Thank you. I have setup to return to the status before when routine ends. But when I am at home it's not going back. I am sharing the screenshot also. 1720310162817.jpg

Possibly try setting when routine ends to connect to your specific wifi network or if that doesn't work set up a new routine to automatically connect to your network.
Kind of guessing here as I have never tried this personally

Hi Helenna,
I tried Ray's first suggestion but it didn't work today.Please see the attached screenshots and advise me if anything is wrong.
I have to try by creating another routine to connect wifi. I will try that and let you know.1720490039506.jpg1720490039522.jpg

I think you should be using the name that you called your wifi network instead of just wifi

Hi Ray,
I tried but there is no option to connect to a specific network. There is only wifi on or off option. As you suggested I created another routine to connect wifi when I reach my home location. I will test this and see how it works.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ray,
As per your suggestion I created another routine this time based on location. Configured routine like when I am at my home location turn on wifi and it is working. I believe the previous routine which was based on the wifi signal was failing because when the wifi was off the routine was unable to pick the network to turn on wifi. I don't know whether a routine should be able to pick up the network even when the wifi was off to turn it on.

Thank you for your help..🙂
