New Idea
Device Grouping, individual device traffic meter, device traffic limits
1) It would be incredibly useful to be able to group devices. Devices should be allowed in more than one group. This would allow better access control in the home. For example:
Dad
dadphone
dadtablet
dadlaptop
Mom
momphone
momtablet
momlaptop
Kid
kidphone
kidtablet
kiddesktop
kidtv
phones
dadphone
momphone
kidphone
computers
dadlaptop
momlaptop
kiddesktop
TV
LRtv
DadMomtv
kidtv
Amaxon
EchoOne
EchoTwo
ShowOne
WorkshopLights (Outlet)
You get the idea. And be able to turn access off/on by group. Of course going to individual equipment settings to enable after a group setting would override.
Feature 2 (and I have seen this before) is individual item (and since there would be no more overhead involved, lets go ahead and throw in groups) traffic monitoring by day (maybe even break this down to hourly), week, billing period (settable). This would enable us to monitor and limit traffic consumers.
And lets just throw this in while we are at it - traffic limits - by device/group settable for day, week, billing period. For example, kidone only gets 10G/day max and then all their stuff stops on wifi.
What the heck. Make this an add on software package and I would pay (a reasonable) amount extra for it.
