HomeShield Subscription
Does anyone here subscribe to the HomeShield Parental Control offering?
Here in the UK you have two choices:
*Security+
*Parental Controls
According to marketing blurb, you should have pretty granual control over surfing activity. TP-Links website states, there should be features to control app usage (and other providers do allow you to be quite granual with sites, services and apps you can give access to and for how long) and the implied marketing is that you can really have good control over what and when your children can access.
However, the reality seems very different. Its seems your subscription is based more on 'reports' which quite frankly are quite useless. If I was going into a business meeting at work that might have some benefit, but I'm not going to be presenting to a 6 year old and a 10 year old.
The 'unlocked' controls from the subscription seem tantamount to setting some times on some days at best. I don't know whether I'm missing something or if this 'offering' by TP-Link is simply lacklustre.
I can't see anywhere to control app usage, anywhere I can set specific time limits on certain services like YouTube or Roblox.
I can't say I would recommend this to anyone of my friends, family, colleagues or aquaintances.
