My use case is: when one of my kids completes their homework and chores, they tell me and I want to allow them to play games for 2 hours. I need to be able to have a default rule to disallow games, but be able to manually suspend that rule, for 2 hours just for today, without that affecting tomorrow's schedule. Is that possible?

 

Or is there another way to do this?

  If it is absolute hours, say from 2am to 3am, it will work. If it is relative and need firewalla track the number of hours of game playing, then no, we don't do that yet.

  Thank you, I can use absolute hours. But I want to make sure that this will only affect today, and tomorrow everything goes back to the standard rule. Will that work?

  Also, is this related to the snooze function?

  Thanks

  You can do one-shot or schedule the rule if you want.  see https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008521833-Manage-Rules

  I want to be able to temporarily suspend an existing rule today until a certain time. After that time it should get unsuspended. Possible?

  You can tap on emergency access on that device, That should give you option to suspend all rules
