Define your own pin code for the web configurator

Hi,

The pic code of the web configurator is generated by a random number generator.

It would be great if you could set it yourself. Then you can also remember the code better, which you need every time to log in.

Is it actually normal that the connection to the web configurator is somewhat unstable? It happens very often that the website is not available. Does the remote control go into standby from time to time and is then no longer accessible (it doesn’t really have to be in the dock)? I then play around with the remote control and restart it and eventually the site is accessible again.

The remote goes to sleep after some time and it’s advices to put it into the dock when using the configurator. Only then it will not activate sleep mode.

I find the random generated PIN really annoying, would much prefer a fixed configurable code

I would actually prefer a real alphanumeric password.

I’d prefer no PIN at all. I trust my network enough to not care about it. Can we add a toggle to disable it entirely please?

I vote for the option of no PIN needed!

Bumping this, the option to provide our own pin/password or disable it entirely would be appreciated.

The pin function is just super annoying - especially at the config-phase when you’ve just starting to config the remote.

The PIN is annoying. Definitely. However, it will never change if you don’t press the “refresh” button in the settings next to where the PIN would be displayed. I’ve been using the same number, which I have memorized, for a while now. After several reboots as well….it doesn’t change unless you click that button, as it will generate a new number.

I’ve experienced several times that things get stuck and i have to gen a new code to get connected again.

There is an Admin code - we should be able to use that.

Haven’t experienced that myself, sorry. I usually dock the remote though when I’m making changes. If using mobile, I just make sure it stays awake and watch the timer.

The Admin code is just used for switching back from a restricted profile. This has be clarified by UC recently.

What I would like to see is a longer session or saving a device to not ask for a PIN anymore.

I think we need all of the above!

Not all. I have no restricted profile and the same pin for > 20 month.

I would not complain if I could disable pins😎
