Hi, recently got a chronovault and set my partner (who is in another city) as the device owner. I leave the CV connected thru dl uplink and she manages thru the website.
We've been playing around with various settings to see how it all works. We quickly discovered that if she doesn't set the timer and just closes the vault, I can still open it thru DL uplink.
So the above post intrigued me as a possible workaround for locking up for an indeterminate amount of time (or unknown to me length of time) which I've seen several people suggest for future updates (hidden timer, or locked down with no timer set).
So naturally we tried this out with her setting the timer, then clearing it out which based on earlier response would make it indeterminate. However as soon as I opened up the chronovault in the DL uplink, even in restricted more I was able to open the vault.
I know the obvious way to go for an unknown period locked is simply to set it far into the future and then she opens it when she chooses, but I thought I'd share my experience.
