Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing a local network using an electronic device, where the electronic device is connected to a router and a plurality of external devices, including a first set of one or more external devices and a second set of one or more external devices, on the local network. The user interfaces enable a user to apply the same network access policy to the first set of one or more external devices and the second set of one or more external devices or to apply different network access policies to the first set of one or more external devices and the second set of one or more external devices, respectively.
Claims18
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- applying, with a first router, a network access policy to one or more devices of a local network, wherein the first router is associated with an automation application;
- displaying, via the display, a user interface including an affordance for associating a second router with the automation application;
- receiving a user input on the affordance for associating the second router with the automation application;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input:
- associating the automation application with the second router;
- and
- applying, with the second router, the network access policy to the one or more devices.
A method comprising:
- at an electronic device with a display:
- applying, with a first router, a network access policy to one or more devices of a local network, wherein the first router is associated with an automation application;
- displaying, via the display, a user interface including an affordance for associating a second router with the automation application;
- receiving a user input on the affordance for associating the second router with the automation application;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input:
- associating the automation application with the second router;
- and
- applying, with the second router, the network access policy to the one or more devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- applying, with a first router, a network access policy to one or more devices of a local network, wherein the first router is associated with an automation application;
- displaying, via the display, a user interface including an affordance for associating a second router with the automation application;
- receiving a user input on the affordance for associating the second router with the automation application;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input:
- associating the automation application with the second router;
- and
- applying, with the second router, the network access policy to the one or more devices.
