j0nz 5 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 So there does not seem to be a place to ask questions about violet. Perhaps you could set up a separate section for these... And here is a question to start off the forum with... How does the internet blocking work for devices? As far as I can see the device does not connect to domotz or violet when is use and so I cannot see how the block will work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommaso 1 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi j0nz, good point. We will create soon a separate section for Violet. In the meantime, let me briefly explain how the blocking feature works: we exploit fing technology to redirect at layer 2 of Internet Protocol Stack the traffic from the router to our box, which simply discard them. The result is a "digital" kick out: either the device has full connection to local network or all the traffic is ignored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j0nz 5 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 this does not seem to be working for me...... I have tired to kick off a wireless device and a wired device but neither got kicked off. Where can I find more information and documentation for Violet? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According with our logs, only one of your agents is hosted on such hardware. Please, contact support if the issue you are encountering with the blocking feature relates to that Agent.

j0nz 5 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Sorry can you please clarify.... All of my devices are (now) raspberry pi's built with the Domotz instructions for installing Domotz on to it. Are you saying that the Domotz boxes and the raspberry pi builds that Domotz supply have different functionality to the installs that you offer on your web site?? I still have not been able to get a device blocked on my network. I am still looking for more information and support on the violet software to be available. thanks J0nz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j0nz 5 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Is there any more information available... and my question...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giancarlo 52 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Sorry for the delay in getting back. I confirm that both the Domotz Box and Domotz Pi provide additional software (e.g. the blocking feature) which is not available and released as software to be installed on your hardware.

j0nz 5 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 is it going to be supported in the self build version of Domotz? If not is there a way that these options can be removed from violet otherwise we have a client facing application that has a feature available in the GUI that does nothing... Undermines the usefulness of violet as a re seller tool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering if this would trow an alarm on an IDS system or cause an issue on the switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommaso 1 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The destination MAC address: our device behaves like a black hole for the traffic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
