Missing Permissions notification popping up frequently

Hi! Whenever a task is saved or when closing Tasker, this message shows

Tasker needs the following permissions(s) for the functionality you have configured:
Access fine location
*Variable %WIFII

The problem is, I'm aware the variable works with location only, but I denied this permission in purpose, because it is not needed for what I'm trying to accomplish. Only THAT variable is necessary for my task.
Now, is there a way to prevent this notifications to pop up again and again? Because it is driving me crazy to click on cancel every time I try to configure some tasks.
If not, a "Do not show again" option would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Hi. How exactly can you use that variable with the location off? What info does it show? Thanks

Well, in my case when Wifi is off or not connected it only shows:

>>> SCAN <<<

But, when it's on and connected, the variable %WIFII shows:

>>> CONNECTION <<<

<unknown ssid>

Mac: 02:00:00:00:00:00
IP : 192.168.1.11
Sig: 6
Spd: 72Mbps
Chl: 2

I use it for this profile:

https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8k3ESweuF%2B3SQKbwarRdy4NTDEZMkBFoHjClvp1S7JCeG48RZvHJv%2Frf3grag%3D%3D&id=Profile%3ATurn+Off+Wifi

My phone has Android 10, neither Tasker or Tasker Settings has location permission, and l keep location off all the time.

In that case why would the variable be helpful while the location is off? Why is it necessary if it doesn't have any helpful info? Thanks

The profile I made checks every 30 minutes if Wifi is on. If it is, turns it off, only if the variable %WIFII matches: >>> SCAN <<<
There may be better ways to achieve this with location off, but this is the best I could think off.

Can you try reading the status with the %WIFI variable instead? Does that work?

I need both of them. My goal is to turn off Wifi only when is not connected to any network for more than 30 minutes.

The variable %WIFI only shows "on" or "off", therefore I use it for the profile to check when Wifi is active or not. And the variable %WIFII as a condition for the task to trigger only when it reads: ">>> SCAN <<<"

Maybe I should've explained that with more detail since the beginning.

So, in reality what you need is a variable that tells you if Wifi is on but location services on your phone are off? :)

Not exactly. What I need is a variable that tells me whether I'm connected or not to a router. Because Wifi could be on but searching for a network for a long time and that's when my task turns it off automatically.

But the >>>SCAN<<< text won't tell you that, right?

You mean the variable %WIFII? Because, that text alone (>>>SCAN<<<) only tells me that I'm not connected to any router, no matter Wifi is on or off. On the other hand the aforementioned variable changes even with location off, so it is perfect for my needs :)

Oh, so you mean that even if location is off that variable will tell you about your Wifi connection IP and stuff, just not show the SSID, is that correct?

Ok, what if you use Test Net > Wifi IP Address instead? :)

First of all, yes that's what I said, but you managed to do it with more clarity and coherence than me XD
Second, I tried Test Net and it works like a charm. Since I'm not using %WIFII anymore, the annoying messages no longer show up. One small detail, I'm using "Connection Type" instead of "Wifi IP Address" but that's just my preference :)
With nothing more to say, thank you very much for your patience. Can't be more proud of paying for your apps

Thank you very much :D Glad it works!
