The automation is based on the following order of priorities: - LAN
- Wi-Fi
- Mobile broadband
Actions of the automation: - When a LAN connection is available, Wi-Fi and mobile broadband connections get disabled. The toggles in the the mobile broadband tray App and Wi-Fi tray app get disabled, so you cannot overwrite the setting there.
- When a LAN connection is not available, the Wi-Fi connection is enabled automatically, and mobile broadband remains disabled. You can use the toggle in the Wi-Fi tray app to enable/disable Wi-Fi. When the network type is disabled through the toggle, the setting is saved persistently over boot.
- When there are no available LAN and Wi-Fi connections, mobile broadband gets enabled. You can use the toggle in the mobile broadband tray app to enable/disable Wi-Fi. When the network type is disabled through the toggle, the setting is saved persistently over boot.
