Hi @Debshe,

Homesafe has features like 'Homework Time', but it is not designed to completely shut the internet off. So it may be worth taking a look at that to see if you could use any of those features.

What are you actually hoping to do, completely disable all internet access on just some specific devices in the home (i.e. so that the 'adults' can still use the internet) ?

@Debshe You could of course just ask them not to use it? Whatever systems are put in place, kids tend to have a knack of getting around them.
