# Microsoft Family Safety

> Microsoft Family Safety is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 82 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated November 6, 2026.

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.

## Supports

- **Uses the vendor's cloud**: Needs an internet connection and an account with the vendor.
- **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS.
- **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months.

## Setting it up

Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services.

### Microsoft Family Safety

- **Update interval (seconds)**
- **Monitored platforms**: Windows, 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)**

### Manual Microsoft Family Safety authentication

- **Redirect URL**

### Reauthenticate Microsoft Family Safety

- **Allow insecure local HTTP authentication (testing only)**

### After setup

- **Update interval (seconds)**
- **Monitored platforms**: Windows, 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 Safety**: Leave 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.
