Option to put devices to the blacklist directly, to ignore specific devices in guest wifi
inter-man opened this issue · 3 comments
I have a work-tablet at home, which uses the guest wifi. But i have several rules in iobroker, that change their behavior, depending on the connected devices to the guest wifi. So as long my work-tablet is online, iobroker thinks, guests are around.
To avoid that, i could put all devices to the whitelist, except the work-tablet, which will be on the blacklist then, correct?
But if a new guest signs into my guest wifi, i have to add him to the whitelist, to be recognized as a guest. Or did i misunderstand the blacklist/whitelist logic?
Is there another way to ignore specific devices in the guest wifi, but accept all new devices?
When a new device connects to the network, than it is listed in the blacklist. When you know this device than add it to the whitelist. Than it is filtered out of the blacklist. It is a security function.

Hi, understand that this is a security function. But I think it is not very convenient, to configure something, as soon guests arrive with a unknown devices. As this is only the guest WiFi without access to my home network and with a good password strength, I would prefer the more convenient, but more risky solution off putting only specific devices to a blacklist, to keep work devices out of my private WiFi, without interfering several iobroker scripts.
But anyway, it was only a question, which has been answered. Thank you for that and for the (almost 😉 ) perfect presence adapter.
Guest device are not listed in the blacklist since v1.1.14.
The guest function has nothing to do with blacklist and whitelist.
When I understand you correctly you will filter out special devices from the guest list.
