OK,,, it works now, that's good.

One more question: The whole procedure was to save energy by stopping the Wifi activity while it is not being used. So I'm little bit unsure if this works this way, as the interface is down, now, but the interface still shows as being "active" in the GUI?
Any idea why it is still marked active although it was shut down by the cron job?

Hence I asked in an earlier message if it was an external IF. Not sure either, but if it's built in to the gateway maybe not, as the Kernel will enable it. So test it, take the interface down and see if the SSID is still visible.

I think you got me wrong. The Wifi is down, everything o.k it is not visible for devices anymore.
But in the Web GUI of OPNsense under Interfaces, the SSID is still marked as being active (See the screenshot)
I would have expected that it should be marked inactive, as it was switched of by the cron-job, wasn't it?

Best

if the SSID is down that's the best you can hope for, it's not transmitting. I suspect it's the same as the WAN interface, could be enabled, but could still be down.
