Let me elaborate:

Let's say I want to have wifi enabled (and mobile data disabled) at home and the other way around anywhere else. I then set up these three situations:
  • at home - based on proximity of my wifi network, triggering it will disable mobile data
  • around home - based on cellular networks at home & a condition (situation != at home), triggering it will enable both mobile data and wifi
  • outside - based on a condition (situation != at home OR around home), triggering it will disable wifi

It is not that straightforward, but I hope it helps, because I've been happily using this scenario ever since Situations came out for Jolla.

EDIT: It would work much better if the wifi condition in Situations checked connected networks only, because sometimes the wifi has a low signal and disconnects (but is still visible) and I end up without an internet connection. If the condition was as I suggest, it would seamlessly switch between wifi and mobile data in such situations.
Do we know that Situations won't turn on wifi and check for Home while Outside? That's the behaviour I'd expect.

One application that I used to use on Android was Tasker. It was a fantastic application for this sort of thing, esp in early versions of Android. It might be worth trawling for ideas...I never tried Llama, so can't compare them.
