hello to everyone here,

i would like to automatically switch off the wifi after a certain time at night if no user is connected anymore.
I inserted the following code (which btw I found in this forum) in the "on event" field of a schedule task but it's not working:

if ( ([/interface wireless monitor wlan1 as-value once]->"connected-clients")=0 ) do={/interface wireless disable wlan1}

I also tried with "authenticated-clients" and "registered-clients" but no one is doing the job. I guess I have an error in the code , so I would be very thankful if someone who is familiar with the script language could give a look!

(btw: the task to switch on the wifi in the morning is working fine which the following line: /interface wireless enable wlan1)

unfortunately it's simply not working

I even tried with =1 (while I was the only connected) but no reaction

strangely (as it worked before!) this morning even the activation of the wifi did not work... morning for testing purpose then I set the interval to 1 minute and it worked. for my activation once a day I set the time to 09:00 and the interval to 00:00:00 as it is the 24 hours interval right?)

interval should be "1d 00:00:00" to work properly

Thanks for the hint with the 1d .... it works!!

Regarding the other code line there is something fundamentally wrong or at least strange!

It's only doing it's job if I put a ! in front of the =0, so !=0 (or whatever other number), for example:

if ( [(/interface wireless registration-table print as-value count-only)] !=0 ) do={/interface wireless disable wlan1} else={}
this disables the wifi whenever I'm connected or not!

if ( [(/interface wireless registration-table print as-value count-only)] !=1 ) do={/interface wireless disable wlan1} else={}
so with value 1 while I'm connected alone on the wifi it should not disable right? but it does so...

did you make tests on your own? maybe a bug in the software somehow?

thanks again a lot for your time!

=0 : mean false or wireless registration table is empty
both are same
other solutions
<=0 : mean less or equal zero
!=0 : mean any number except zero
!=1 : mean any number except one
>0 : mean greater than zero.
etc.

yes I know but thank you!

how come it's not working with =0 then??

can you test it please on your own mikrotik for a second?

yes
problem fixed by remove ( ) from script

sorry I don get it...

a parte the additional code added there, the basic line is just the same... and ( ) still there...?!

Anyone else could give me a short help?

This script does work fin on my hap lite
Schedule it to run every 5m and it should shutdown the interface after max 5 min of last client leaving.

PS I did add a test to see if interface was enabled. No need to shutdown it more than once.

great it works perfectly, thank you so much!!
