Parental Controls not working
Parental Controls not working
I have been using the deco mesh system for almost 2 years and have never gotten the Parental Controls to work.
I have even paid for the Premium Homeshield package to get Advanced Parental Controls- still no luck!
The deco system is able to block devices, but it works intermittently.
I have to manually add and remove devices from my child profiles in order for them to access or be blocked from the internet.
The scheduled block times may block a device, but then when the scheduled downtime ends, it does not unblock it.
I have to delete the device from the child profile for it to regain access.
The behavior is not the same all of the time either.
Right now, in an effort to figure this out, I have just factory reset my main deco and started over.
The parental controls will automatically block a device as soon as it is added to a profile, even if there is no blocking, schedule, or time limit.
Has anyone had success with Parental Controls?
Thanks for any ideas!

@Tony_Gee Yes, It is unfortunate. They almost had it working with a patch they provided for me once about a year ago. It didn't always work though. It also didn't remain working once subsequent firmware updates were applied, so I don't think they ever migrated the code into the production releases.
The only solution for me has been to allow my kids to grow older and for me to just give up on trying to enforce screen time schedules.
This has been very disappointing and frustrating givent he countless hours I have put into troubleshooting and trying to get it to work.
