Dummy (non-IP) Devices

[TonyFerrante]

When will have the ability to add "Dummy" devices, like Cable boxes?  It would be nice to have something easy for the client to access in the Violet App to reboot the cable box instead of looking for the PDU, then drilling down to the device.

I would also like this feature as well. We have a cable provider that we do not hook up their boxes IP but occasionally need to reboot them. Thanks.

Good news: we are currently working on this feature. Stay tuned, it should come very soon.

Is there a way to add dummy devices without tying them to "smart" outlets, PDUs?

You should be able to do so from the Device List, click on "Add Dummy Device":

 

 

This is not linked to a smart outlet or PDU
