About

Microsoft Family Safety is an integration that controls children's Windows, Xbox and mobile devices through Microsoft Family Safety. It adds buttons, numbers, sensors, switches and time entities, plus actions to lock or unlock a platform or account, set daily screen time limits and allowed time windows, and block or unblock apps. Further actions cover app time limits, website blocking and allowing, web filtering, age rating, purchase approval, and approving or denying pending screen time extension requests. Options let the user choose which platforms to monitor, set the update interval, and restrict control to selected users so a child's non-administrator account is refused. Sign-in to Microsoft happens natively inside Home Assistant, the connection depends on the vendor's cloud, and the integration is configured in the UI. It relies on unofficial, undocumented Microsoft APIs.

Microsoft Family Safety

Update interval (seconds)
Monitored platformsWindows, Xbox, Mobile: one lock switch per ticked platform. Ticking Xbox also turns on Xbox play time and the Xbox lock, which need the Microsoft web session (some accounts must renew it with a sign-in every 24 hours). Leave Xbox unticked if the children have no Xbox: the integration then runs on the mobile token only, with a shorter sign-in.
Allow insecure local HTTP authentication (testing only)

Users allowed to control Microsoft Family SafetyLeave empty to let every user use the buttons and settings (default). As soon as users are ticked, only they and the administrators can: a child's non-administrator account is refused on every button, switch, limit and time window, and on the microsoft_family_safety actions. Automations and scripts run by Home Assistant are not affected. Give the child a non-administrator account: an administrator can change this option.

From the README

A full-featured Home Assistant custom integration for Microsoft Family Safety. Monitor screen time, manage app restrictions, lock accounts, control web filtering, and adjust daily limits — all from your Home Assistant dashboard.
Authentication is native: you sign in to Microsoft from Home Assistant itself. The Playwright auth add-on is no longer required and is kept only as a legacy fallback.
