Looking for a wifi app that auto turns off when i leave home?

Has anyone seen an app out there that would turn off wifi if I'm not at home, then turn it back on automatically when I get home? I know I can do it manually, just thought it would be nice to have this happen on its own. This would also help conserve the battery on my Incredible as well.

An app to disable GPS when indoors or after a period of not locking would be nice too.

try locale. it has many location based options. i set mine so my phone automatically goes to vibrant when im in the vincinity of my work building. when i leave work, it automatically puts it to ring. the same can be applied to bluetooth, wifi, etc.

Check out Setting Profiles. I use the paid version but I recall that its much cheaper than Locale. As I recall there was a free version that only did one "profile" at a time so if all you want is wifi at home it might suffice.
