Never said they were lol

At home I want wifi on, and away I want it off. This saves battery so it's not constantly looking for wifi networks.

I could achieve similar with location service turned on all the time, but that drains battery even more.

Since cellular data is always connected to some cell tower nearby, and Tasker is able to identify the cell tower names, I used the ones near my home as flags to indicate "I'm close to home, therefore turn on WiFi because I'll be home soon". And turn it off when I leave my neighborhood.

Ok. I did not see what you meant.

I have a home zone that triggers things. I don't think location services uses enough battery for me to worry about

How does the home zone work?

For me location service eats my battery up - can't last a full day with it on.

I do mine from home assistant. I can leave location services, Bluetooth, and wifi, all on without worrying about battery life for the whole day.
