When you have a Fingbox you can't long press a device in the network and delete it, logout and you can delete devices.

Now delete is back and everything else is missing, you can still access these greyed out by long pressing the host.
The latest beta update broke the ability to delete devices again. @marco_from_fing
You can still delete offline devices but you can not delete devices which are online.
With our latest updates with the Fing app, you can't remove an online device. From the 8.8.0 update, actions like WOL and others are not available if you are not in the same network of the selected device.
In order to use the WOL, you need to be connected to the same access point as your device which you want to use the feature for and then you will see the feature activated.

That's seems an odd thing to remove, I like the ability to delete online devices and do a rescan as a way to verify the device is indeed online. Some of my devices don't respond to pings and this was the only easy way to verify connectivity.
* Deleting an online device from a Fingbox network has always been disabled. That is because, if the device is online and you delete it, Fingbox will automatically re-create it at the next scan because it's an active monitoring system. If the user logs out of the account, the network he's seeing is not "live data" anymore, and therefore you can delete it.
* Deleting a device on a manually-scanned network is instead always possible, regardless of the online/offline state, because that state is just a snapshot of the past and doesn't get automatically updated.
I think my issues stemmed from my Fingbox giving out on me then, because I couldn't delete a device after a manual scan.
And what if I'm remote on vacation and need to wol a device because of a power outage or something of that nature? It may ac power on but sleep and I need to wol? Just saying...
The basic approach is that Fingbox should help users by letting them know what is happening, so the online/offline state is detected automatically and reported with alerts, and if a device is supposed to be always on and goes down, automatically wake it up, rather then giving users the burden to check and troubleshoot by executing manually the commands for pinging and waking manually.
