Time slots for Wired Connected devices
Hello,
I'm trying to setup time slots for the wired devices (PC, Play Station...) of my children but I don't find any option for this in the Parent Control.
For their wireless devices I installed 'Circle Home Premium' which is working fine.
Who can help me?
Hi DWAL,
Yes, but it will require a combination of steps.
What you can try is use a combination of features: Address reservation, Schedule, and Block Services.
First, you can do Address Reservation for the devices and set them on a range (i.e. 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.10). Steps are linked below.

Second, set a schedule (i.e. 22:00 to 06:00). Steps are linked below.

Third, set to block all services. Steps are linked below.

Hi DWAL,
Welcome to the community!
You can use the OffTime and/or BedTime feature of Circle by assigning the device/s to a certain profile. The links below may help.

Hello Dexter,
Thanks for your answer.
The control via the Circle app is working fine.
I have an additional question.
Is there also a way to control (set offtime) wired devices without the having the Circle app?
